That's honestly a part of another problem with Ruby's character. Because of her lack of development for the past three Volumes, her mother came off as more special than her.

Which, when combined with how janked the Deus ex Ruby scene was, pretty much leaves a scene where Ruby saves the day by pulling magic out of her butt.

Literally the only foreshadowing we had to her having a special trait is her silver eyes. After that, Ozpin became busy being vague, then come Vol 3, talking about Maidens.

Which results in the Maidens steering all the attention to Ruby, which causes said scene to come out of nowhere.

All in all, alot of problems can be pointed out in how that scene ensued. But I feel most of them may be worked out if it lasted a bit longer than "Shiny light whee"
