Sheesh. First off, Maiden powers are tied to the soul - the only way to pass them on to the next host is for the previous host's soul to longer be on this plane basically. Which means Raven would have to die. The Maiden's also don't get super amazing revival powers or anything like that - they are keys to the vaults due to the presence of the magic (if you noticed, Raven didn't have to stand in the centre circular floor area for it to light up, just in the general vicinity), but they get elemental powers.

Secondly, that sounds pretty OOC for almost every character involved in the scenario.

Thirdly; Raven doesn't need the elevator at all. She has portals which she can step through at any time and leave Cinder alone with no key to the vault at all. She has a connection to Tai, who is halfway around the world, which means she can literally escape halfway around the world and disappear before Cinder even gets up the elevator.

Even if Raven doesn't get the relic, she prevents Salem from getting it just by being alive. That's still a win for her.
