Axa grants her Justicars the ability to call on her power through prayer. The effects that Axa is willing to grant are designed to further her goals and come in the form of powerful attacks against her enemies or abilities that enable Justicars to do so themselves by keeping them alive longer or enhancing their abilities. Performing a prayer is a complex process that requires more time and effort than an invocation. Calling on Axa's power in this manner requires the Justicar to expend goetic energy. Goetic energy can be fully restored by praying to Axa at the chapel in the Ivory Tower.
The prayers that are commonly known to the Justicars are divided into attack, healing, and utility abilities. As each Justicar will draw on their own experience in the performance of a prayer, these abilties require skill in massive blow, athleticism, and smithing respectively. All prayers also require the Justicar to possess some measure of piety as well as knowledge of both theurgy and law.
Prayers are a form of spellcasting, and require use of the cast command.
The syntax for casting prayers is 'cast <spell name> [on <target> | with <component> | without <spell step> | <extra arguments>]'.
Each prayer has its own help file accessed by typing 'help <prayer name>'. Any prayer-specific syntax will be listed here, as well as your current perfection. A variety of factors may affect this during casting, such as attempts to skip steps. Further, fumbling individual steps can cause prayers to fail despite an otherwise high perfection.

This prayer has two distinct uses. Cast without a target, it can create a temporary piece of armour that, while powerful, costs energy to maintain.

The types of armour that you can create with this prayer are as follows: tailsheath, wingsheath, left gauntlet, bodysuit, right boot, helm, left boot, right gauntlet, greave, bracer, breastplate, halfsuit, full suit, and tailed halfsuit.
Knowledge of this prayer unlocked with smithing 105, theurgy 127, law 128, goetic investiture 74. That's enough for 9% perfection...
