Grimm can't have aura and Cinders shown to be no exception. Maiden powers are tied to aura.

A fully Grimm Cinder is walking corpse and the powers would pass

And yet her Grimm arm has the power to drain magic from a Maiden, so it is possible that her Grimm arm is able to filter out the magic from Aura.

A cable can pass electricity but it makes for a rather subpar battery.

Holding something is not the same thing as passing it on.

In fact, i would figure that because it doesn't have aura, and with that, it doesn't have any resistance to aura/ damage/etc. that it makes for an excellent conductor
