The '''peragator''' is a magical device created by [[Malmahan]] during his time on Earth under the guise of Mr. Caligo.

== Creation ==
It took Malmahan "years of work" and "many souls" to create the peragator. He confesses to 28 total murders - 15 the police knew about, and 13 they didn't, - one per year, but it is unclear whether the construction of the peragator took nearly three decades and as many souls. Given the events leading up to his return to [[Mirandus]], it appears that Caligo hid the device in one of his teeth, or disguised it as one.

== Function ==
Little is known about the actual function of the peragator, other than it allows Malmahan to return to Mirandus alongside [[Lin Yang-Tanasin]]. Considering that Paul returns to Earth in the same place Malmahan disappeared from, it is possible that Paul's eviction from Mirandus was also tied to the peragator - though it is also possible that there is another cause for this.

== Trivia ==
* The word "peragator" is not an actual English word, but "peragration" is, and it means "an act of traversing"{{url ref|url=https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/peragration|text=Definition of ''peragration''|site=Merriam-Webster}}. It's possible that Brandon took inspiration from it, considering that the peragator is a device for traversing between worlds.
