I can't try to debate with someone who's being stubborn about things like this and Pyrrha's death, so I'm unfollowing the thread so it will stop notifying me of replies.

You'll see eventually, or maybe you won't. I hope he realizes that I said the point I made about the silver eyes and the maidens was very speculative.

We ALL got that. However that isn't a shield. Ruby's powers are ntohing like a Maiden's. Preempting the "oh but we've only seen one Maiden" with the fact that when Amber was using her powers she clearly had control over ALL elements. Cinder, due to prior exprience manipulating Fire Dust, is an instant natural with the Fire Elemental Powers so she almost exclusively uses them, however you'll notice in her brief fight with Ozpin she throws shards of Ice at him (though it's entirely possible that was Glass and her using her Semblance, but there's no point in NOT using her Maiden powers against someone as powerful as Ozpin).

Maiden Powers are elemental in nature. Ruby's are not. Yes they say she "froze" the Grimm, however you'll notice in the shot of Beacon we get during Salem's monologue that the Dragon Grimm isn't incased in anything. It's just stationary. "Froze" and "Frozen" don't have to mean "Ice". If someone with time powers stops a person in their tracks we don't say they're "timed" we say they're "frozen".
