Cinder sucked the life out of Vernal, expecting to suck the Maiden powers out too, and didn't realize untill she was done that she didn't get the power she expected. Except there is nothing to indicate Cinder can do that. Grimm don't normally suck the life force out of their victims, and Cinder's Grimm Glove, while it did steal half of Amber's soul, only left Amber in a coma. The only thing it seems the Glove can steal is the Maiden Powers, which are tied to the soul. Since Cinder couldn't find any power, she couldn't steal the soul. Cause lets be real. If Cinder, or anyone for that matter, could just steal the souls of anyone, there would be no plot, she could just steal a persons soul and be done with them, then go on her way. Except Amber was left in a coma because the process was incomplete. Qrow stopped Cinder from using her glove to its fullest extent/completing the transfer, which likely would have been worse than a comatose Amber.
