Magic Council (Damon)

The Magic Council (魔法評議院 Mahō Hyōgīn) is considered to be the Magic World's ruling body, although it rules only over Ishgar. Their main branch is shown to be located inside the Fiore country, with much smaller branches spreaded through the other Ishgar's countries. While it focused on political power at first, after certain events the Council has developed its militarity and many other areas, to a level where they are seen as a symbol of justice. They continue to keep monitoration on both Legal and Illegal types of guilds, notificating the legal guilds when necessary and when a dark poses as a threat, the Council immediatelly tries to take it down.

Overview
The council acts as a Government-like body which rules over almost all of Ishgar. They are shown to rule over possibly all of the Legal Guilds registered, overseeing the actions of many of their mages, even arresting them when needed or should the Magic Law be broken. One of these laws being the usage of Magic in order to assassinate someone, as such, they are also capable of disbanding any Guild should enough rules be broken. At any time and any place, the Council is capable of arresting a criminal and most times, the former does not resist. There is times when the Council might just warn a mage depending on the situation and quickly let them go away, as seen with Damon D. Draco.

Due to managing mages through all of Ishgar, the Council is shown to possess many brances scattered across the continent. The main branch however is shown to be located in Fiore, this branch being ruled by the Ten Knights with the Chairman being part of them. The current council is said to be much less demanding than the previous, example being how the current one still takes responsability on Legal Guilds' activities and take their time to monitor Dark Guilds.

The current Magic Council also possesses a variation of varied jobs for the Councilors, hanging from overseeing Legal Guilds to observing and noting about new Magic powers. Some also tend to be sent on missions to recover important magical artifacts for them to not fall at the wrong hands.
