The master would raise an eyebrow at them then groans touching his hand to his forehead "..all of you really know nothing.." he states "those reasons are idiotic, and frankly... the same as  death wish" he states looking at them with fierce and intense eyes "every one who I've taken with such reasons have all died during the initiation ritual while screaming so loud, I'm pretty sure the town nearby which is a long ways away, was able to hear it" he states then stomps his foot loudly, a giant magical circle appears on the ground behind him "If it's a death wish you want, what ever it's not my job to keep you alive" he states "You'll need better reasoning to survive than you simply want to learn magic, you need a real reason to learn it, a goal your hunting for" he tells them "or else this ritual will chew you up into a ground paste and spit you out"

	His face says that he isn't lying to them, there would be traces of stuff laying around.. rags of old clothes and more... from previous apprentices who tried to learn but did not succeed. "You know nothing about pain, if you haven't experienced the pain of living as a wizard, or even as an apprentice" he states "People die regularly, Loved ones killed for being near you" he tells them "Best friends you made killed without you able to do anything" he looks to the sky "that is only the start.. the ritual pain is unbearable by itself alone, but when involving everything after..." the master would close his eyes "You would wish death had taken you long before then, I know I have." a strange stone tablet raises from the ground in the middle of the circle "To become an apprentice it must be paid in blood" he states "Write you name in your own blood on the tablet to seal the contract, Though you might want to read the rules before you do so" he tells them. "for disobeying a master after you have made the contract... could be a punishable offence.."

	The Tablet would have a list of Rules on it 1: Once you have signed this contract you are no longer considered human, you are no longer a person. Until you have graduated you are considered as property to the world. The property of a Master. 2:The Master's word is law, break it, then he, or her can punish by which ever means they wish, including death. 3: An Apprentice is not to simply speak to another Master besides their own without permission. 4: The Master may do what ever they wish to the apprentice, no matter what they decide. from experimentation, to other uses. and 5: If you cause the death of another fellow apprentice, the punishment will be even more severe, left to the master or masters to decide, Common punishment is death. Under this there is a spot that says 'I (big space for multiple names) Soddenly swear to uphold these rules, as i join the apprenticeship of a magician and begin my path to become a master'.
