I don't think I like the idea of sacrificing an Angel on the Stone Table; it doesn't quite fit. As Bob says "different wavelengths". And from a technical point of view, how would you give equal power to both sides? Remember that the Queen in charge of the Table at the time gets the power.

It's a power of Death, so Id say it would naturally go to Winter. If it happened, it either predates (or coincides) with the events precipitating the Seasonal Court split, or else the Summer side got another angelic Power-up, something on the Life end of the Spectrum.
As far as Wavelengths, I dont see why the Stone Table would be bound to the same limitations as a Spirit of Intellect. It's not that Faith and Magic are incomparable, it's that Faith and Logic are incompatible, while most (but not all) of magic can be reasonably understood by Logic and Reason alone, so Bob has personally specialized in that aspect.

Why doesn't Mother winter take to the field against the outsiders? If she wields the power of Death, wouldn't that be a great boon on our side of the conflict?

Hmm, i have several ways to answer that... sooo, in decreasing order of certainty:
1) No Walking Stick...
2) For the same reasons she doesnt bother with Dusting: that's too Active for the incarnation of Cold and Silence and Stillness and Death and the fundamental reduction of Motion at the atomic level.
3) Why doesnt Hades? Why doesnt Odin? Why doesnt Uriel? Why doesnt every single being of Power that exists or has a stake in the continued existence of the Multiverse? Because that's not their Role, it's not their *cue ominous music and the echo effect* Purpose

Perhaps Nemesis reactivates portions of the soul of those Fae that had one (Maeve) and takes complete control of those that never had one (cat sith). Or prior existence of a soul limits the level of influence that Nemesis has over the infected.

What makes you think Cat Sith never had a soul?
