At least that's the way it worked for me. Most all practice or obtaining "mantra siddhi" (the true siddhis) are done with a key or guru mantra preceding their practice. That enlivens them. Once the practitioner has obtained "mantra siddhi" or the point where the siddhi is enlivened then they can be invoked on their own.
