Lea told Harry "never let her bring you here", didn't she? I have a feeling that Mab is/was going to kill Harry on the Table.

(click to show/hide)I wonder if the Table accepts other body fluids...

I bet it does. There are probably traces of power in any of a person's bodily fluids. Some, depending on the time and circumstances, are probably more potent than others. Blood may be the best, but... other types seem like they might occasionally become supercharged, given the right situation.

Maybe, but it could also be that since Lea was/is charged with Harry's spirtual well being that becoming the Winter Knight would run against that.  She might just have wanted to keep that from happening as best she could with Mab still being her boss.

I think you are discounting vanilla mortal's too much.  I've spent about 20 min looking for it but can't find it where Lea says to Harry that regular mortals are generally more trouble than just about anything you might find in the NN.

I'm not discounting it. I just think the blood of one vanilla mortal isn't enough to significantly alter the balance of the Faerie Courts, even when sacrificed at the stone table.

I'm not saying it isn't possible, but it would take significantly more blood than Slate's for that, IMO. We'd be talking about Darkhallow or Blood Curse Ritual levels of human sacrifices here, I think.
