Amber also had combat experience under her belt and was able to beat back Cinder by herself, I'm talking about if you gather all the maiden powers into one person, that would cause kingdom wide damage. Cinder is also still learning how to use her powers. Salem said herself that she still had to master them. Also, the plan was for Cinder to infiltrate Beacon without being known and she didn't need the maiden powers for that. All they had to do was continue their plan to fullest until the Grimm inevitably overwhelm beacon. They find the relic. That is MUCH less dangerous than going against a maiden.
