Dalaran Apprenticeship Graduation Process

In order for an apprentice mage of Magus Senate of Dalaran to become a full member of the Kirin Tor he or she must complete several tests to prove that they are ready to become a full member. The apprentice can at any time ask their master to nominate them for the graduation process, but should they fail they would have to wait an entire year to try again. The process is presided over by the Clerk of the Senate, the apprentice's master, and a member of the Inner Council.

The First Test
The first test is an oral exam. The apprentice must stand before the panel and answer questions given to him or her by the panel. The panel will then decide if the answers were satisfactory enough to continue on with the process. The questions tend to be about basic Dalaranian history, basic magic theory, and the schools of magic. If the panel approves of the answers then the apprentice moves on to the next test.

The Second Test
The second test is always the same. What are the Laws of Magic and how do they apply to you? The apprentice must give a overview of each law and explain how the laws affect their use of magic. This test is designed to stress to the apprentice that just because they might no longer be an apprentice, it doesn't mean the laws won't apply to them. The answers are again spoken in front of the panel and they will decide if the answers given are satisfactory enough to move on to the last test.

The Third Test
The third test is designed to show the panel the apprentice's spell casting abilities. The apprentice can pick three spells to cast perferably from different schools. The apprentice will then cast the spells and demonstrate them for the panel. Should the panel deem the spell casting sufficent they the apprentice will become a full member of the Kirin Tor.

Graduation Ceremony
The ceremony is largely left up to the former apprentice and the master. Some opt for extravagant parties and others small low key gatherings. Usually the master will give something to the former apprentice to symbolize their moving up in the magi world. Magical weapons and attire are the most common, but their are no set rules on what can be given. The former apprentice can also pick a title, if they so choose. The title would be subject to approval by the panel.
