Is far more than that. Let us compare my first two Masters, shall we?
First Master: Took roughly a month to gain induction. Four interviews, three quests. Don't remember what I had perfected, if anything (this predated any requirement of perfected spells), but I had enchant up in the high 90s.. and consider that I could only cast it maybe 3-4 times before running out of mana.
Second Master: Made the first look easy. Roughly two months, real time. Perfected a bunch of spells, then had to hunt down the Five Adepts to interview with each of them. Finally completed those, then the Leader dies off. Had to wait for the new leader, then start all over with him. Three interviews, two quests.
The lesson? There are other things you can do while waiting to be interviewed, and I don't simply mean spamming your spells. Talk to other Masters. Help them if they're having rager problems. Go roleplay in the Inn. Do things to get yourself noticed. Don't just sit there like a botting bump on a log.
