You will be mentor to [Apprentice's name]. [Mentor's name], you have shown yourself to be a warrior of [Virtue #1] and [Virtue #2]. I'm sure you will pass on all you know to this apprentice."

New Mentor
Leader: "I call upon my warrior ancestors to give this apprentice a new mentor. [Apprentice name], you have lost your first mentor, so your new mentor will be [New mentor's name]."
