It's not hard to determine where a Grimm's power comes from. He sees what others cannot. There's no need for a hexenbiest to come up with this special spell to disable a few extra cones and leave the rest untouched. All Adelind had to do was blind him.
I'm guessing that there was an earlier version of the spell that did blind the victim. I speculate that some hexenbiesten who weren't quite that evil thought that this was going too far and worked to modify it so that it would only affect the victim's ability to see first-level volge.
But there are other things to being a Grimm besides the sight. Grimms seem to be stronger and quicker than normal humans, react to certain drugs and chemicals differently, and recover from injuries and attacks more quickly.
