The Ten Wizard Saints (聖十大魔導 Seiten Daimadō) are the ten most skilled and powerful mages in the continent of Ishgar. They are recruited by the council for a variety of purposes, such as serving as mage models and even helping on the Council's matters.

History
The concept of the supposed Ten most skilled mages around was possibly created back with the Council's. Although it is uncertain, some mages once said they got Ancestors who had the Wizard Saint title. It was decided only S-Class Mages like Guild Aces or even Guild Masters were more likely to take the titles, although independent mages were also seen being invited by Council Members. To this day, the Wizard Saint concept still exists.

Recruitment
In order to become one of the Ten Wizard Saints, a mage must be personally appointed by the Council's Chairman, who sends either a letter or a lesser councilor. As explained many times through history, a variety of mages can take up the title however it should be noted that S-Class mages and above are more likely to be invited depending on their social status and power. Indeed, there is members of the Saints who aren't part of a Guild and simply are Council members.

According to many Councilors, there is a variety of criteria which must be met by the Mage, in the eyes of the Chairman so that the former can be avalied. No one in history has ever been called before hitting the criteria. Once being hit, either the Chairman or another Councilor will organize a meeting with the mage.

Strength
Being the Ten most skilled mages of the continent of Ishgar, as appointed by the Council, the members are immensely powerful on their own right. One single Saint is capable of taking head on numerous standard mages at once. It was speculated that should two members clash, they would cause a catasthrophe. Despite this claim, it is shown that not every member is equal in strength, however most of them are on similar levels. Once seen with Makarov Dreyar and Jose Porla, as the former at full power defeated the latter with relative ease. Jura Neekis before the timeskip suggested he ranked as the 10th Member, although he quickly rose to the 5th rank.

Despite that, the difference in between the ranks is not that big, with 10th Rank to 6th Rank all said to be somewhat equal. While the 5th Rank is said to be one little step ahead, and the other upper ranks being all equal and one step ahead of the previous one.

It was revealed that the four most powerful members of the Wizard Saints are known as the Four Gods of Ishgar (大陸 (イシュガル)の四天王 Ishugaru no Shitennō, lit. Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar). They are so powerful that the others don't consider them human anymore. They are said to be on par with Albareth's Shields.

Former Members

Potential Candidates
These are the mages that the Council keeps an eye on, mostly because of their sheer potential as mages, recognized by them and some others as potential Saints. They are shown to have the necessary prowess but either aren't interested or aren't affiliated with the Council as a whole.
