Here's my thought on the Schnee connection to the maidens; "god" from the story, after that first event, went around the world, encountered people in incredible situations and granted them power. One of the Schnee's ancestors was one such individual, and he locked in their semblance, gave them the summoning ability as part of it. No way of saying why he did so, but somethign happened and he did.
