Talk:Salem/@comment-33389681-20181206131736

I know I've been asking a lot of questions on various RWBY articles, but I'm just really curious is all. Rewatching the series really brought up a bunch of shit I need to think about. Anyways...

Why in the absolute fuck did the two brother gods give Salem more power than Ozpin? Salem will reincarnate for the rest of forever until she learns her lesson. Meanwhile, Ozpin's powers are running out and he considers them "finite", as said in "Rest and Resolutions" (V5E7).

"My power is finite, and if I'm being honest, dwindling."

If the gods wanted Ozpin to protect the Relics and guide humanity, why give him less power than Salem? Ozpin couldn't even fight Cinder off so he's really weak. Did the gods just put him on hard mode so that his mission would definitely be a challenge?

On that note, I've gotta ask. Why are the Maiden powers being passed on into young women? Did Ozpin enchant people so that they're always passed on? If so, why would he make the powers pass onto random people every single time a Maiden dies or something? That's going to be awfully inconvenient for him, considering Raven got the power by killing a Maiden. And now Cinder can steal Maiden powers, which is even worse.
