Re: How much for royal blood?
It does bear noting that the blood hit the floor along with the princess.

Re: How much for royal blood?
That kind of reminds me of Fremen water cannibalism.
But I can kind of see the point. If Royal blood has a high Mana level it's demand will increase accordingly. However it also has the problem of being unsaleble. It is hard to take it without the owner's permission and if you try someone might Come Looking For You (which is why TV art thieves, unless they work on commission have an impractical job). And harder to sell it because no fence will touch something with that high a bounty. In this particular case of course the owner gives it of free will. However that should be notarized very carefully to make sure of the transfer.

Re: How much for royal blood?
That's a good point. A Clean, Cleansing, or Remove Contagion spell would be helpful.

Re: How much for royal blood?
One point that might be made is that the princess might be insulted at the idea that her blood was worth MONEY. Perhaps murderously insulted. Mightn't that be considered rather like saying her amorous favors were worth money?
So perhaps there might be a paradox. You might get it as a gift. Or you won't get it at all. But you can never market it.

Re: How much for royal blood?
Make sure you clean the blood and not the container it's in! :)

I know you've done work in GURPS in alchemy, and I probably don't have everything. What SJGames alchemy resources do you know of?

Re: How much for royal blood?
Pick a number that looks right.
Oh, wait. This is GURPS. Pick a number that looks right, then look it up on the Size/Range table.
