𝘎𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥: a type of organization in Fiore, characterized by a member base and common trade. The purpose of a guild is to obtain and disseminate job requests to the members of the guild. There are three types of guilds: legal, dark, and independent.

	• Dark Guilds have not been approved by the Magic Council and are treated as criminal organizations.
	• Independent Guilds have not been approved by the Magic Council but are not considered criminal. They have been demonstrated to have free rein so long as their actions do not earn the disapproval of the Magic Council.
	• Miscellaneous Guilds are guilds that are not magical in nature but help the citizens of Fiore get jobs and earn jewels. There is a merchant, treasure hunter, bandit, workmen, combat, industrial, and many other types of guilds dotting the countryside of Fiore.

Guilds are typically divided into a three-tier system consisting of the Guildmaster, the S-Rank Mages, and the regular mages;
𝘎𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳: the single most influential member of the guild. Typically, Guild Masters are very powerful, often being the strongest Mage in their guilds. Occasionally, they are even members of the Ten Wizard Saints, as with the case of Makarov Dreyar.
𝘚-𝘙𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴: An S-Class Mage is a powerful Mage that is recognized by the Guild Master and is able to undertake S-Class Jobs, and despite the very good pay, they are considered to be so dangerous that even the simplest mistake can cost them their life.
𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴: these are simply magic users who undertake jobs to make jewels. Regular mages are not allowed to take on S-Class jobs without the accompaniment of an S-Rank Mage. It is possible for a mage to rise in rank, though the trials of promotion vary guild-to-guild.
