Assuming Maidens are the only ones who can wield pure magic, which isn't true at all. There really isn't anything called "maiden power" in the sense that it is exclusive in terms of its capabilities - it's an ability channel incredibly powerful magic without the need for Dust etc. and theoretically could also be manifested by others (regardless of gender). It would be suitable to remember that the one who actually gave them these inheritable powers was actually a guy, so yeah. I think hardwork and aura training may definitely play a huge role...

...heck I think Ozpin will soon prove to be a case in point on the matter. I'm fine with passing on powers. I just don't want that negate training and using your imagination. I want peope to still be able to outsmart or come up with unconventional victories. If this comes to a point where all the Season Powers are in one place and it become less a battle of tactics and skill and more a battle of raw power and enormous blasts we'll have a DBZ on our hands.

Ozpin was shown in a lore segmant represent the "man". Almost as the person who's a civilian. He may be the "badass normal" of TV Tropes. The guy who can't or can't any longer use powers and has to rely solely on skill and brains. Like Batman in DC.
