The vortex you mention I doubt is a apart of the maiden power and that is for reason: The maidens were conceived for the RWBY storyline around volume 2, the vortex has been around since volume 1 within the opening. It is a mystery certainly but I believe that it was not present so early just as stylistic choice which could be repurposed. Like many others I speculate that the vortex relates to Salem in some way as outside of Raven who is unknown as to her allegiances its only appeared around grimm (volume 1 openings) and Cinder when using an object relating to Salem (the glove).
