So the good guys only developed the technology to steal that power recently.But you suggested Salem was one of the original maidens. Considering she's not dead, she would still have to be one, since there'0s no reason for her to lose those powers.

Yes, I have thought about Ozpin and Salem being the 2 brothers, but those 2 brothers had nothing to do with the Maidens. Also, they were Gods, which leads to the question: who the hell cursed Oz if he's a God? There had to be other gods not just the 2 in the story so it's possible one of them cursed Ozpin at some point. I mean if the case is he and Salem are the two gods in the story. Perhaps Salem started being evil again and wanting to destroy humanity. The other gods could have been too afraid to fight her and Ozpin chose to go against her and because he failed thy cursed him to be reincarnated till he got it right and killed her. She does know everything about the maidens and all the history of Remnant so it would definitely explain why she'd know that. Also the grim were around before humanity int he story too. So this would definitely explain their aggression towards mortals. The Grimm would've lived in the world without a threat and then humanity came.

But in the relation to the maidens, Oz most likely created the Maidens to help fight against Salem. At the time of the story of the 2 gods, there would've not been any maidens that story of how they came to be was much later. By which point Oz would've been reincarnated a good many times before he probably decided he need help with fighting Salem. Seeing as Salem is so old she would've not died as he had died many times to only come back in another's body. Her power would've grown incredibly without death having claimed her repeatedly like with Oz. HIs power would've been not able to grow as well as hers could have.
