Perfikot didn't intend to create the Philosopher's Stone here; she certainly didn't have that kind of power.
Even though she had earned the royal title of Alchemist at the age of fourteen, she was still far from making the Philosopher's Stone.
Despite having her parents' notes and a large amount of research material, so far all Perfikot has been able to do is turn substances yellow.
Moreover, she also needed the help of the Philosopher's Stone to achieve this step; on her own, she could almost achieve perfect whitening and occasionally succeed in turning substances yellow.
At first glance, it may not seem like much, but if you compare it with most of the Empire's alchemists who spend their lives pursuing the touch that turns stone to gold and cannot even achieve yellowing, it becomes clear just how much of a genius Perfikot really is.
