She took an arrow to the heart, and received no medical attention whatsoever unless Cinder just stood there for 15 minutes while Ozpin pried the glass casket off of her, pulled out the arrow, and desperately tried to stop the bleeding, something that definitely didn't happen. She was literally hooked up to medical equipment meant to keep her alive dog. In theory, it could have automatically resuscitated her body without anyone helping.

Secondly, how (and I feel the need to add why here because I don't get the reasoning behind that either) would Pyrrha transfer her soul into Amber's corpse? Which is what it is, by the way. She was left with an arrow in her heart for the duration of the fight between Cinder and Ozpin, so she's clearly dead. The ashes of her body flew in the exact opposite direction of the elevator that would lead down to Amber, so that's a no go. They didn't exactly share a deep spiritual bond, so I don't see why Pyrrha would go to her instead of the great beyond or wherever the hell people on Remnant go when they die. Plus, coming into contact with Amber's aura seemed to cause Pyrrha immense pain (not that having the equivalent of a second soul shoved inside you could possibly be pleasant), so that's another point against her going to Amber's body. Maybe I didn't mention this specifically in this thread, but the whole idea is that the soul transfer thing worked in some part despite getting interrupted by Cinder. Hence, Amber's soul remained dormant in Pyrrha, but then when Pyrrha's body got incinerated Amber's soul got sucked back into her body dragging Pyrrha's soul along with it.

Thirdly, Amber had her aura, including the bit Pyrrha may have collected by that point, sucked out of her and straight into Cinder. There is absolutley no way she survived being shot in the chest and having her soul ripped out when she was already in such bad shape that she needed life support. I don't think you understand what was happening in that scene. The point was that Amber died and therefore the Maiden powers transferred to Cinder. Nowhere is it suggested that a Maiden's soul transfers to the person who inherits her powers. Were we to operate on the same principle that Amber's Maiden powers went to Cinder because she had a portion of those powers, then Amber's soul going to Pyrrha because she already had been transferred part of it would fit.

You're right, I did forget to mention that. So, even if Pyrrha somehow got absorbed into Amber's corpse, revived it, somehow managed to heal it from the massive trauma caused by a freaking arrow to the chest, and then somehow climbed up the now non-functioning elevator shaft, she'd still get ripped apart by the ever-increasing army of Grimm.

This is something I have also addressed elsewhere, but you seem to be under a mistaken impression that I am suggesting it would be Pyrrha's soul alone, when that was never once what I implied or stated. So, it would be two Auras and thus a super-boosted healing factor and super-boosted powers. Factoring in that she merely needs to escape the Grimm and there would have been a lot of disarray in the Grimm ranks right after Pyrrha's body was combusted, it would be simple enough for her to get away. You are talking about a highly experienced warrior or technically two highly experienced warriors in one power-boosted body only needing to find a way to get out of an area where the baddest Grimm has just been taken down, potentially confusing or frightening temporarily the remaining lesser Grimm. It's not exactly Mission Impossible.
