If that's the case, then what the hell did the others had to do in order to join? Tbf, I'm suggesting that only the taking of Amber's powers were her initiation, the sacking of Vale, etc. was secondary goals Salem had wanted done by Cinder all along, but her group was too well Surveiled... so she kept Cinder at arms length and so when Cinder failed to finish it she was reassigned to Vale rather than allowed to join the inner circle at that time.

Further, I'm suggesting Cinder's initiation to Maiden powers never involved potential side effects... it doesn't really fit most bad guys back stories that their master just gives them all their power... they want to hook them with some form of dependency.
