That's an interesting inversion of the wizard school of Roke in
A Wizard of Earthsea. There, to get into the school, the door warden tells you you have to find past the door. No magic you have will do the job. Finally, you realize the only way in is to ask the door warden to open the door for you, and the price he names is telling him your true name (the most precious thing you possess).
