blood stones are both at a normal cost/benefit rate

Hmm... let me see, blood stones 20+5, but they are also pump earth magic skill. Thinking that you can easily amass huge numbers of blood slaves, i don't see where is the main difference with clams.
So BS are broken!!!

To get to 200 earth stones, which is the equivalent in magical income to 100 clams, will cost you 4000 blood slaves if you don't have hammers on your forgers, or 3000 slaves if you do. The stones do produce earth gems to pay for that part, but you can't alchemize gems into blood slaves.

200 Blood Stones are better than 100 clams, just because you can get what you would get for pearls AND you can use those earth gems without changing them to pearls first. 100 Blood Stones are just as useful to nations who have mages able to use them, Earth has some nice summons, many good items and few but potent rituals. Earth Attack is amazing... Versus normal commander atleast.
