I think the stone table is their method of absorbing other deities' power through ritualistic sacrifice, but it has to be used carefully, because restrictions come along with that power (hence why the Sidhe are so bound by rules).
If they had a tool or method that got around that, then they'd have used it.
But I might be wrong, which makes my argument moot.
Actually, I believe there's WoJ that the Erlking would have died as well. He was a target as well. (Sorry, don't have time to go find it on the new site)

That's true about the Sidhe. However the main difference is that Sidhe aren't mortal wizards.

But mortal wizards can become Sidhe. How? By bathing in their power. For example, Molly can become a Sidhe Lady. She plays the roll, she does the things, then she becomes that which she surrounds herself. Ergo, mortal becoming immortal but being bound by the restrictions of the power they obtain.

If the theory holds, it would mean that she was protecting herself, she was sacrificing the Power back to Herself and re-forming the Mantle, like reinstalling the OS to clear out a computer Virus (or some more appropriate metaphor).

Could also be that she changed the Mantle itself instead of just restoring the factory settings. Maybe she wanted Harry to be a different kind of Knight than what she'd had in the past, and tweaked some of the subroutines. Everyone keeps remarking that All Winter Knights Are X-Y-Z, and Harry's persisted for a couple of years now without become a full-time psycho. Something's either different about Harry, or something's different about the Mantle, and that Stone Table transfer makes me suspicious.
Lost Merlin:
When was the last time their was a winter knight who was also a wizard? has their ever been one? I think that my be a difference about why the Mantle hasn't changed Harry much. Also you could argue that since he isn't using it as much it isn't affecting him nearly as much either.

Harry mentions that he is not sure if there's ever been a wizard Knight or not. I strongly suspect there has been, if only because Mab Likes Powerful toys, though I doubt there's been a Soul fire-weilding Wizard-Knight before
