I just wish to clarify that i am not taking the trailers  too literally, but pointing out alternative potential symbolism and reference. Honestly prior to the absorbtion scene the general consensus was that it was a portal of some kind and Raven's semblance, with that scene things get more sketchy.

Has the vortex been shown outside of potential Salem connection such as the grimm and glove and with the maiden power? Its been shown without any connection to the maidens although you wish to remove the volume 1 opening as a factor because you believe they shouldn't be taken too literally but still, i'm not sure the same vortex has been shown exclusively with connection to the maidens, if it has this point is nullified and your theory  has far better ground.
