This one's going to be an oddball. Some ideas about "purification" seem to make sense, but given how vengeful Salem is.... why would she want to be purified? She has power over the Grimm after falling into the pools, and shows little to no regret (so far) of her decisions.

What if she just wants to personally kill Ruby as a message to Ozpin that not even the "simplest souls" will survive in a world where she's the "goddess"? It would make sense for why she wouldn't want Tyrian to do the job for her. She might just want to kill Ruby because she is a symbol of the God of Light's lasting influence.
