Mage Collective

A Mage Collective (魔道士共同体, Madōshi Kyōdōtai) is a loose, yet legally binding association of mages that pool resources and skills in a mostly non-hierarchical format with a communally controlled power structure in the form of majority rule. It is essentially a professional cooperative for mages rooted in the ideas of the Free Magic Movement (自由勝手魔法動向, Jiyūkatte Mahō Dōkō), a counter-cultural wave that demanded reform in the way the magic world is run that took place many years ago. Collectives are the only alternative to legal guilds that is recognized by the Magic Council. A system where the only rank is that of master, the model is strongly driven by idea of "free association of wizardry."

As of X1000, such unions have almost completely disappeared, being relics of more rebellious times.
