2) The reason I don't think it affects the Maidens is because we've only been told of its effects on the Grimm, something Cinder used to steal Amber's powers.

3) Combine that with Salem teaching Cinder to control something when it's fairly obvious Salem is all about Grimm and you've got a fairly convincing case for it being inside Cinder.

1) We still don't know for sure what exactly can Silver Eyes do. Do they destroy Grimm and just happen to have the power to petrify the strongest of them? Do they affect Maidens and Grimm in different ways, just like they affect weak and strong Grimm in different ways?

Also remember, novice or not Cinder still had what were basically the powers of a god. Who is to say that Maidens aren't on the same level as that Dragon?

2) We only heard about the Silver Eyed from Qrow, who was explaining them to Ruby, who knew nothing about the Maidens.

3) I don't doubt that Cunder has a Grimm inside of her now. Its just that I have problems believing that the Grimm insect, that seems to have been designed specifically to steal Maiden powers, and that was probably not even absorbed by Cinder, also happens to be capable of healing the body of someone affected by Silver Eyes.
