I think that Vernal had the powers for a long time and gave them to Raven or something? You see, this twist is pretty messed up as it can go in thousand of directions. Qrow wouldn't have know Raven was the Maiden. That's the point. They thought Raven just had her in her possession. She likely did when the girl initially ran away. But what we know is that the power itself never transferred in any form before save for artificial means. I doubt Vernal had any means to artificially transfer the powers. So that's why I say Raven got the powers after the previous Spring Maiden died and groomed Vernal as the proxy. Until evidence suggests otherwise, I cannot see how your theory makes sense. So I agree with "or something"
