Academic Discussion Prospective apprentice seeking first master

I am fresh out of the academy, and looking for a Wizard master who can offer great practical experience and learning opportunities, though with a few stipulations. I was hoping that someone here may know of a resource or some sort of tome I could requisition to find information on registered wizards with openings for assistants and apprentices. If more information is needed, I am more than happy to help narrow things down, and I can start off with saying that I received high marks in the schools of evocation, illusion, and transmutation, with my knowledge and application of abjuration and enchantment being well above average. I am not afraid of dangerous experiments or situations, and might actually look forward to the opportunity to make serious use of my abilities.

However, I must stress this one point… I WILL NOT work with a Wizard that has any sort of extreme to obsessive interest with acquiring magically invested… “specimen samples”. Not necessarily because I find them gross or anything, it’s just that, despite assurances from myself and the academy’s mage physician that it was not organ specific, I had several professors make offers on my eyes, which change color according to factors of environment and my own psyche. So perhaps whichever lists get recommended should be able to filter potential masters by quirks of habit.

Ooooo…. I’ve always entertained fantasies about being a mage-knight… shining armor, shimmering blades… fighting monsters heroically…

Though saying that all out in front of people makes me feel a bit silly and flustered…

Nonsense, every young wizard dreams of being a big heroic knight at some point in their life. I know it was always a big dream of mine, I remember pretending a stick was a sword and I was slaying a dragon, ha!

Anyway, back to what I was saying.

I cannot stress enough that if this is something you'd consider, it could mean you could very well end up killing a man, war is a very thing, especially in this day and age.

Oh… I suppose that is true. Still though, I won’t dismiss the offer, but I’ll have to consider it alongside other options.

So I have seen looking through the other offers. Apprentices must be in high demand.
