The Fall Maiden powers only began transferring to Pyrrha, but then got sucked out of her back into Amber before the process was complete, then went to Cinder.

The more likely reason Cinder is struggling is because she used a Grimm to steal half of Amber's power in the first place. Think about it...


 * Cinder used a glove with a Grimm beetle inside of it to steal half of Amber's power.


 * That glove was absorbed into Cinder.


 * Ruby is a Silver-Eyed Warrior, and Qrow said that Silver-Eyed Warriors could use their powers to strike Grimm down.


 * Ruby used her silver eye flash, and Cinder was injured by it. Is the Grimm beetle actually inside of Cinder? Did Ruby's silver eyes count Cinder as partially Grimm because of that?


 * Salem said that Cinder's weakness to the silver eye powers was connected to her getting the Fall Maiden powers, and we later saw her telling Cinder she was fighting something - an "it", not a she, it - and that she needed to make it fear her.
