The thing is, she didn't actually use a power at all. She killed her and got the power because the power going to who killed the person.

In summary, it seems like it's an inverse of this power. Transfer of the power depending on Conditional Power rules, rather than taking the power because Cinder killed her. If she was thinking of someone else when she was killed, it would have gone to them instead. If anything, it was the ability of Amber to transfer the Maiden powers (against her will), not Cinder's ability to take them.
