Sorry, Amos, I can't think of a Latinate word meaning to force someone into darkness or slavery. Induction is, etymologically, the opposite of education.

When I was drafted into the army, guess what the word was? I was, indeed, "inducted", and I guess the army culture is fairly characterized as darkness or slavery.
