And Ozpin gave the Maiden's their powers. That makes Salem's warning to Cinder that her Maiden powers made her vunerable to Ruby and her SEW's power that much more telling and important. Yes, it's not impossible that SEW powers can nullify or disrupt Maiden powers, but since Cinder got her powers via a Grimm parasite and later gained a Grimm she's particulary vulnerable to them.
