Even though Perfikot prepared an Ancestral Spirit as fuel, a massive amount of Spiritual Power was still needed to activate the alchemical array she had set up, a gap too large to be filled by draining individual spirits dry.

By harnessing the power of Beloburg's collective dream, Perfikot might also experience Divine Power.
