All I'm saying is that, since it wasn't on screen, we have no way of knowing if she reacted or not. It's entirely possible that she didn't react, but since it's also possible that she did, Raven not reacting to the SEW powers cannot be used as an argument against them affecting maidens. Yes it can actually. The lack of evidence of any reaction can be seen that Maidens in general are not effected by SEWs and that Cinder is a special case because she used a Grimm to obtain her power. Again there is no reason why they would be. Grimm and Cinder are the only things to be shown to be effected by them. That is not how logical deductions work. The evidence that we have states:

1) Cinder is affected by SEW powers.

2) Salem said it was because of he maiden powers that she was affected.

3) We have only seen one maiden on screen when SEW powers were used. (Cinder)

Until we see Raven or another maiden on screen when SEW powers are used, we have no way to tell if they are affected by SEW powers, but given Cinders reaction and SALEM'S VERY SPECIFIC COMMENT, for now, the evidencce points towards the maidens being effected by SEW powers.


 * Note:* something to keep in mind is that it was never stated that the SEW powers are only anti-grimm powers. They are powers that happen to affect grimm. They could also affect other things.
