The weather controller is an exceptionally complex alchemical device, almost akin to a building.
Given the current harsh weather conditions, Perfikot clearly doesn't have the luxury of time to build it slowly.
The Northern Territory cannot wait, her people cannot wait.
The only way to erect the weather controller quickly without a gradual build is to use alchemy to directly assemble it.
This level of work is far beyond the capability of ordinary Alchemists, even if several Alchemists work together, their efficiency wouldn't surpass manual construction.
The issue isn't anything else; it's simply that these Alchemists lack spiritual power. They must work in intervals, taking breaks, maintaining production at a barely efficient pace, with inefficiency at nine out of ten.
Perfikot herself is the one truly capable of handling this task.
