Zodiark is the will of our star made manifest. I told you that Hydaelyn had sundered Him as surely as She had sundered the rest of you. Should every shard successfully rejoin the Source, He would be whole once more.
The overwhelming elemental surge which accompanies each calamity is echoed upon one of the shards. This forces the shard to collapse, whereupon it is absorbed by the Source. It is a delicate feat to accomplish. Tipping the balance too far results in a dead, useless world, as we learnt from the void we accidentally made of the Thirteenth. Thus Dalamud was exactly as devastating as it needed to be. I was the one who guided the Allagans towards the idea after all, and later ordered Garlemald's research into it as emperor.
[ And sometimes, one had to let the forces of good stop such power from spiralling out of control. Despite his complaints that Elidibus fretted overly much, their Emissary played as important a role as the rest of them in ensuring the did not repeat the mistake of the Thirteenth. ]
Each calamity is a Rejoining. With each Rejoining, Zodiark is one shard closer to His resurrection.
