I personaly liken SEW powers to Semblance, where it may take time to show itself, or have a "trigger" of sorts. When Ruby saw Pyrrha die, this was the trigger, and due to the overload of emotions, the power released itself in an unstable state. However, the sheer power of the release terribly injured all of the people present, A.K.A. Ruby, Cinder, and the Dragon, with varying degrees of sucess. Ruby, being the wielder, had the least damage, a 1-2 week coma. Cinder had the next worst damage, (maybe) making her blind in one eye, and supposedly scarring her vocal cords enough to render her nearly voiceless. And of course the Dragon was turned to stone. Salem could have meant that Cinder being attacked, in addition to her Maiden Powers brought the stregnth of vengance and the weakness of anger, an uncontrolable rage, which could imply the training she underwent in Volume 4 was to control her anger, only letting vengance show.
