Accepting that level of power is an incredible responsibility, and would require any one of them to make personal sacrifices. It could also start rivalries or create inferiority complexes, which could be used to explore the relationships the characters have with others. This of course won't happen of all four of them suddenly get handed the powers of magic on a silver platter.

I hope that not all of the maidens are assigned to one team, since it allows for more drama. I think nothing makes a story better than presenting a supposedly insurmountable power, and proving that it's possible for people without it to succeed. It can certainly be done right; however, the prospect of it being done without the 4 being maidens has more potential. Especially if you want to get into inferiority complexes.

Anyhow, I think the real question is how they handle Maidens. If it ends up like Naruto where the Main characters (RWBY as maidens) are the only ones who can do anything, it gets extremely dull. This is why I'm hoping the powers of the maidens magic isn't the generic powerful magic boosts, and instead the powers relate to seasons.

For example, Fall magic is Stat/health draining magic, Winter Offensive magic, Spring Healing/Stat boost magic, Summer Defensive magic.

It would at least give the different maidens a reason to have different names. Keeps maidens form just automatically being their own little tier of untouchable combatants towards the end game.
