Magic Association

The Magic Guild (魔道協会) is an organization that appears in the BlazBlue: Phase Shift series and is a major organization in XBlaze - Code: Embryo, where it is known as the Magic Guild. It is situated on the island of Ishana, the magical capital.

History
The Magic Guild has been around for centuries, teaching many different mages and making them excel in the magical arts. It is the forefront of the magic and many magical arts and techniques are not only taught but also made.

The leaders of the Magic Guild are known as the Ten Saints, and while the ten seats have never been filled all at once, the Saints lead the Guild in the direction they see fit. To become one of the Saints means you have to be phenomenal in the magical arts. Each Saint is named after a number from One to Ten in the Phase Shift series and onwards, whereas in XBlaze, they are named after German numbers instead, ranging from Ein to Zehn.

The Guild is also responsible for the creation of the Nox Nyctores weapons and at least three of the ten were held by members of the Ten Saints. They were made as a counteract towards the destruction wrought by The Black Beast when the Saints finally acknowledged the threat it posed towards the end of BlazBlue: Phase Shift 3.

As the only two known users of Sorcery are Rachel Alucard and Konoe Mercury, it can be assumed that the Guild does not teach Sorcery as it could be too complex to use.

There is no mention of the Magic Guild past the events of the Phase Shift novels, this can lead to the assumption that the Guild is no longer active.
