This could been two things. A) Raven will go to Vale and search for the artifact and end up unintentionally helping thin the Grimm numbers there.

B) Ozpin's cane was never the artifact, or Cinder would've took it when she killed his physical body. That or she didn't know it was the artifact and vaporized it on accident with Oz's body. And if Cinder didn't know it was the cane, then Salem hasn't told anyone what the artifact look like and like only gave them a way to sense it.

I wonder how the Grimm know to grab it and bring it bring it back instead ignoring it or breaking it like everything else.

Side Issue: Does anyone think the artifact is a game changer as in if Salem gets it she auto-wins? Is it just something powerful she wants to have so the heroes can't use it against her? Maybe even a means to counter Ruby's Silver Eyes.
