It doesn't seem to me that CRWBY would go so out of their way to show the creation of the Maidens twice for it to not be true. Did you watch the World Of Remnant miniepisodes? Specifically The Four Maidens.

In my opinion we have seen all the bigger explanations as far as Maidens are concerned.

Regarding your "been fighting a war for millennia". No, actually. The Hermit-Wizard was the first incarnation after Salem killed their kids. And judging from how it was shown he would have wouldn't have been mourning his daughters and his love for more than 10 years? Idk. (I'm bad at judging time) His life as the Hermit was spent mourning until the Maidens appeared. He gave up on life. He didn't have a grasp of what he had really done, he probably didn't know how much power he gave them. He would probably try killing himself if he could. He probably though he's unworthy of magic, but these girls, who helped a stranger just because they could, would probably be better off with magic.

He was in the middle of mourning over his love and daughters that she killed when he was visited by the Maidens. They were the first nice thing that happened after Salem. And they reminded him of his daughters.

I, personally don't need any more "explanations" because I feel like that's it.
