The Reiji Maigo (零時迷子?, lit. "Midnight Lost Child") is the Treasure Tool stored inside Yūji Sakai's body. Every day at midnight it replenishes the keeper's Power of Existence up to its maximum but only so long as the bearer has not exhausted their Power of Existence.

Appearance[]

The Reiji Maigo's appearance is of a sphere of Power of Existence surrounded by gears. It also has a Kaikin that is placed by the creator in order to protect the Reiji Maigo from Bal Masqué and possible enemies who want to get their hands on it.

Background[]

The Reiji Maigo is a perpetual engine which restores its host's Power of Existence every day at midnight. It is a masterpiece regarded as a "treasure among treasures" by beings involved with the Crimson Realm.[1]

The Reiji Maigo was created by Johann, who crafted the Treasure Tool with the help of the Crimson Lord Pheles to grant eternal life to himself. Also, due to this, Pheles no longer needed to consume humans as she could tap into Johann's existence without either of them losing their existence. Unfortunately, their encounter with Sabrac forced Pheles to seal her lover, who was then fatally wounded, into the Reiji Maigo. Pheles was unaware though that Sabrac has placed the Silver inside the Reiji Maigo as well.

It was later used to give power to the Snake of the Festival to finish the creation of Xanadu, creating a pathway to the Rift Between Both Worlds, where Xanadu will be placed.

After the Divine Summoning, Saiki Reisō, the Reiji Maigo started to display abnormalities due to excessive use; its gears now rattled and Kaikin barely functioned.[2] However, this did not affect Yūji as much, since he had become a firm existence through the Unrestricted Spell Insignia of Reincarnation. He continued to keep the Reiji Maigo within himself, but he actually did not have to rely on its ability anymore.

While Yūji was in Xanadu, the Reiji Maigo completely stopped functioning. He was sometimes known to other Crimson Denizens as the "Mystes of the broken Treasure Tool" (壊れ宝具の“ミステス” Koware Hougu no Misutesu?)[3].

In the anime[]

In the anime, the Reiji Maigo differs in its function. It is capable of infinitely producing Power of Existence.[4]

At the present, it was targeted by the Crimson Denizen organization Bal Masqué, with aims to concentrate an immense amount of Power of Existence by synchronizing of Bal Masqué's leaders Hecate with the Reiji Maigo. Since Hecate is known by Bal Masqué to have an "almost infinite" amount of Power of Existence, the procedure forced the Reiji Maigo to "fill something which cannot be filled", and as a consequence, it gave its current bearer almost the same limit of Power of Existence, which later becomes of help to Yūji Sakai when Bal Masqué returns to use the Reiji Maigo to give life to the Statue of Pride.
