As we know, Cinder was greatly effected by Ruby's Silver Eyes. She lost an arm and an eye, and even her voice for a while. Now, the latest episode seemed to imply that Cinder was so effected because of her Grimm arm and beetle. This makes sense, as Maria said that the Silver Eyes only work around the Grimm.

But here's the thing: Salem stated that Cinder was vulnereble to the Eyes because of the Maiden's powers. And thus, I came up with the following theory. The Eyes don't just effect the Grimm. They effect the creations of the God of Darkness.

Now, what does this have to do with the Maiden's powers? In The Lost Fable, when the gods are attacked, the God of Darkness muses about how humanity is using his own gift against him. His gift. Not him and his brother's. Hisgift. This makes me think that when humanity was created, it was the God of Darkness that made sure humanity was able to wield magic. If magic is a creation of the God of Darkness, it could explain why the Maidens are weak against the Silver Eyes. And considering we now know that the Silver Eyes are connected from the God of Light, it would make sense that his light would effect magic-wielders like this.

Now, I know what some may think. It was Ozpin who granted the Maidens their magic. And that is very much true. Ozpin may have granted the Maiden's the ability to use magic. But he is notthe creator of magic. Thus, the Maidens would still be effected by the Silver Eyes.

What are your thoughts on this theory of mine?
