Should we remove the "Weaknesses" section that talks about the uncertainty over whether SEW powers affect all Maidens or if Cinder is a special case?

1. We now know that Cinder has Grimm stuff going on, and Qrow did say that "a single look" from a SEW could "strike a Grimm down", meaning that SEW powers affect Grimm.

2. We were not shown Raven being affected by Ruby's silver eye flash. "Maybe her powers only affect what's in her line of sight?" Nope, the Dragon wasn't in her line of sight, but her powers turned it to stone anyway. You would think that, if the SEW powers affected all Maidens, then Raven would've been affected as well. On top of that, Raven was fighting Qrow at the time, so we reasonably should have gotten a scene where Raven suddenly drops to her knees in pain and Qrow gains a look of realization and starts yelling at her about her having the Spring Maiden powers.

But that didn't happen. Because, out of all the people in that room that Ruby's white light spread out to, Cinder was the only one who was affected.
