Being a Wizard Saint means that you not only hold great power, but are also
highly respected and well known, like Makarov. Also you get a cool looking
badge too as seen below:

But what factors does the chairman of the magic council take into account when
deciding whether one is "worthy" to become part of the Ten Wizard Saints?

How does one become a Wizard Saint?


As far as we know it's not (or not necessarily) the chairman of the Magic
Council who decides who becomes a Wizard Saint. In Erza's vision about her
funeral it was stated that the vote of the entire council decided that she
should be a Wizard Saint. Later Jura also states that it is the Council who
appoints the members.

With that in mind, I'm pretty sure that the Council takes whatever factors
they want to take into consideration when pointing out Wizard Saints. Which
means there is not a single score sheet, and if you score 5 points in magical
power and 4 points in teamwork then you can become a Wizard Saint.

Strength however is one factor that they definitely consider, but that' not an
ultimate factor for the decision as Jellal, for example, being a Wizard Saint
was defeated by Natsu and that didn't make Natsu a Wizard Saint.

Makarov was defeated by Purehito who was no wizard saint. IMO, wizard saints
are madoushi who have at one time, done something worthy of note for the good
of the mage universe. Strength definitely does go a long way in determining
the Wizard Saints.

Power is definitely a factor. But other than that, other factors might come
into play. Here's what I am guessing.

Factors:

  1. Power (obviously)
  2. Magical knowledge
  3. Magical exploits (ie. if you have saved many lives or led a great journey)
  4. Deeds that benefited mankind (for instance, Warrod has used his magic to stop the desertification)
  5. How well known you are, etc.

But the ranking among the Wizard Saints is also not important. For instance,
Jura is currently the 5th Wizard Saint and there is no way he is more powerful
than Makarov.

And yes, Natsu defeated Jellal. But you have to consider that Jellal was:

A) weakened by the fact he had recently recovered his full power because he
had been using a thought projection for years and

B) Natsu was in Dragon Force as well as fueled by Etherion.

In reality, Jellal is among the most powerful of Wizard Saints, for he was a
member of the 10 Wizard Saints at a fraction of his power because it took most
of his power to simply maintain the thought projection. He was also a prodigy
as a child, to the point that as a child he blew up a small mountain with a
wave of his hand while using self-destruction magic.

All in all, power is a major factor.

Also, with the recent exploits of Natsu (the avatar fight specifically Ikusa
Tsunagi fight) should land him on the wizard saints.
