The point I was making was that it didn't suck out her life. It only sucked out the maiden powers. If it had sucked the life out of Vernal even only halfway, in addition to taking half her soul, then Amber would be in a much worse condition than a simple coma.

And by no plot, I mean there would be no stopping her. She could stab you, suck out your life, and go about her business. She'd be able to get all of the Maiden Powers without risk of being stopped, Salem wins, Game Over. And just to make sure you wn't respond to me this way.

We don't know exactly what a soul is, so how do you know if we would be in worse than a coma with half of it? The powers are associated with the soul, so what makes you think it isn't the soul being sucked and then the powers come with it?

RT can take this wherever they want. She can't stab you if she can't catch you. The Grimm arm can be destroyed. SEW. By now, there are a few ways to destroy Cinder even if it is sucking the soul. Not that I think Vernal is dying that way - she's injured, she's bleeding, no doctors around, Raven can probably defeat Cinder, but it'll pretty stupid if it's a curbstomp battle - now THAT would be bad storytelling.
