-With that they literrally confirmed it wasn't the Winter Maiden, I think it was bad design choices for the WoR on RT's part that caused unnesccerary confusion.

-So... no more semblance or aura related enhancement or abilities? The grimm would have to give some powerful enhancements to the body to make it an effective host.

-Fair, I want to have more hints of Salem's powers that she herself can do. I doubt it would happen in volume 4 or anytime soon but I want to see maiden Cinder try her luck on Salem and get her ass handed to her to demonstrate the true power of the ultimate villain. -Yeah, it was the lack of creativity on the design. Not a good idea to make 2 characters so similar-looking without a good plot reason (unless "identical stranger" is at hand).

-Knowledge is power enough, and I would expect the Grimm itself to be powerful. Perhaps the reason it would possess people is because, being a parasite, it needs a host to be strong. Or perhaps just to gain their knowledge.

-That would be an egregious use of the Worf Effect. Not to mention: Why would it even happen?
