Interesting theory. For me it would be something like what Mystogan did. Get enough crystals to create a persona rivalling that of a S-Class like Laxus or Erza. +1 for the exact same train of thought that led me to ask this question. Not correcting it as of yet since its still just a theory and maybe someone else can get some sources for this.

I appreciate that. It would be great to have more thoughts on this.

I like the idea, but a team of magicians or Crystals supplying power to a smaller group (possibly 1) Architect would make more sense. They were using eclipse to build up magic power to actually use the gate, so expanding its power would be counterproductive

@Ryan That could be true indeed but then again, there is the matter of the immense magic power needed for things like Pandemonium. Crystals could definitely be possibility. A wizard or a group of wizards is still kind of unlikely since we didn't see anyone in the final battle except for the competitors.

<p>In the grand magic games arc we saw several team events that use a lot of magic events. Which are "Hidden", "Chariot", "Pandemonium", "Naval Battle" and "Battle Royale" etc. </p>

<p>In the world of magic, we see magic circles being used to create these events. For Example, creating the water sphere in Naval Battle or Peripheral Chariots. These may be comparatively easy, however it would require lots of magic power to create thousands of exact clones (Hidden) or 100 monsters of Pandemonium.</p>

<p>So who/which guild/how was used to create these events since they would require an absurd amount of power.</p>

<p>Considering, How powerful would the user be if he can create a monster which can fight on level footing as an S-Class mage? Thousands of clone which may have same power as that of user(?)</p>

I don't remember where I heard this, so it may be incorrect. But if I recall, wasn't there something about storing magic power and siphoning it over many many years? They could easily accumulate that amount of power from a large enough population given enough time, then just blow it all on the games.
