Author commentary: Some of this alchemiter upgrading stuff, while kinda funny unto itself, was still done to serve a practical purpose, mostly for my own convenience and simplicity in ongoing story production. It's much better to have the alchemiter be this centralized source of all alchemy, rather than spreading the process all over the house and making the kids jump through all these hoops—punching cards, carving totems, and all that nonsense. This way, when a kid is near the alchemiter, I could just say (or imply), all right cool, just make some stuff. The expanded alchemy process was fun for a while, but at this point it just doesn't matter anymore.
