Ten Wizard Saints

The Ten Great Holy Mages (Seiten Daimadou) are titles given to the ten best, and thus often most powerful, mages in the continent chosen by the chairman of the Magic Council. They are first introduced by Gray Fullbuster.

Strength
The strength of the Ten Great Holy Mages is well-renowned throughout the kingdom. They are exceptionally strong, able to take on scores of average mages with ease and defeat more powerful mages without as much effort; for instance, Jose was able to fend off and overwhelm a number of the Fairy Tail members with his Shades and defeat Erza Scarlet fairly quickly, although she was wounded and tired. Another example would be the mage Ur who (although not officially recognised as a member she had the potential to be one) imprisoned and killed the demon Deliora who was said to be "immortal" and extremely powerful. Furthermore, their strength is as such that if two members fought each other it could cause a "cataclysm". However, this does not mean all the members are on the same level of power, as demonstrated when Makarov quickly defeated Jose Pola when the two fought each other.

Jura has stated that he is the weakest of the Ten Great Holy Mages, and furthermore suggested that the gap in power between himself and Makarov is large.

Trivia

 * The Ten have to be approved by the council, simply beating one doesn't earn them a title. Angel managed to beat Jura but being a Dark Mage, she can't become one of the ten. Also, Natsu Dragneel (temporary powered up by aetherion´s magic) defeated Gerard, but his property damaging nature makes him a menace in the council's eyes.
