§ 31 – As above, the most appropriate prayer – this time a real life example – is to have a generalised template, followed by two examples; 73
“‘ O [ prince ] 74, [ additional title if they have one ] 75, whose sphere is [ their sphere ] 76, [ want / desire ] 77. Guide and guard me.’”
– Prayer Template, 2015
§ 32 – The Author of the prayer, upon hoping to elaborate on this, follows this up with three examples; two to Meridia, and one to Nocturnal respectively: 78
“ 1. O Meridia, lady of infinite energies, whose sphere is the energies of life, grant me long life, let your light break upon me and should I pass let my body rest eternal. Guide and guard me.
2. O Meridia, lady of infinite energies, whose sphere is the energies of life giving, let your energies touch those who sicken in my life and should they come to pass, grant them their peace in eternal rest. Guide and guard me
3. O Nocturnal, night mistress, whose sphere is the night and darkness, allow me to unlock my inner potentials and let the shadows hide and protect me. Guide and guard me.”

§ 33 – The Reader, may be thinking to themselves upon getting to this point in the treatise“ Where does this practice originate from?” This question will be analysed and answered

Extracted from a post on the subject of a prayer template from 23 / 08 / 2015; accessed 30 / 01 / 2017; the following has been left as it was originally written, with the exception of the correct of spelling & grammar errors.
74
“ most if not all of the Aedra prayers I’ ve seen begin with ' come to me ', which is also an option but one I wanted to stay away from as many Daedra are dangerous and inviting them / their sphere into yourself would likely not end well, especially if dealing with more destructive oriented princes.”
75
“ the additional title is mainly for formalities sake and to clarify that you’ re speaking to them and can also function as what about them you are trying to revere / ask of / etc.( i. e. clarifying ' queen of dusk and dawn ' if your prayer is related to that [ of Azura ]) tho [ ugh ] it’ s not required to use a specific title as a means of contacting that specific sphere relation.”
76
“ Specifying the sphere is again for formality and also, again, to help invoke what specifically you are praying / revering.”
77
“ Want / desire would be where you would put why you are making the prayer. If it’ s just a general prayer of reverence, not asking for something, you can make the wording relatively vague”
78
The author furthermore states that“ again these are only samples and can be edited it any way”
