I assumed she froze it with that weird whiteness, but even then that would make Taiyang's wording strange. Then the council members make reference to the fact that Cinder lost to a novice agian strange wording if it was just Ruby's white light freezing the dragon and scarring Cinder.

Maybe Ruby really did fight both Cinder and the Dragon? Since she can't remember it, we did see it? Or maybe I'm looking into things too much. Salem's group clearly treats the silver eye thing as a threat, even in the hands of a novice like Ruby. The novice comment made me think that its a very powerful ability that requires skill to use, and what Ruby did was perhaps unconventional in some way in that she just kinda let loose with it. There is likely a method of defending against it or countering it, but as Cinder was unprepared to deal with it and understandably taken aback, she felt the full force of it.

The crippling weakness that Salem mentioned is what confuses me. Being a maiden somehow makes you vulnerable to silver eyes? At first I thought this connected the maidens to the grimm in some way, but this is unlikely as the Dragon suffered completely different effects to Cinder (Being turned to stone, whereas Cinder shares properties with a burn victim). There is also still the question of how Cinder communicated with the Dragon so maybe there is a connection we're not seeing.

Also someone mentioned all the Villains have golden eyes? Tyrian's eyes are gold but idk to me Watts has green eyes and Hazel's eyes are...well, hazel.
