Runescape Ancient Magicks Guide
There are several different types of magic in the world of Runescape. Which branch of powerful spells a player uses depends on several things. Ancient Magicks can only be used by players who pay the monthly membership fee, and even then, they must complete the Desert Treasure quest. Players may only use one type of magick at a time.
Players gain access to the Ancient Magicks by praying inside the pyramid. Once they do so, they can use Ancient Magicks but not normal spells—they have to pray again to switch back. Praying drains away all of a player’s prayer points. Note that the first time a player travels through the pyramid; they must go through the entire area. However, once they reach the altar, they’ll gain the ability to use the shortcut to get directly to the altar from outside, saving a lot of time.
Types of Ancient Magicks
Ancient Magicks come in two types: teleport spells and damage spells. Spells can also be broken down by element. A few spells have restrictions on them. For example, Miasmic spells can only be cast by players who have Zuriel’s Staff equipped.
» Blood spells heal the player and damage the enemy.
» Ice spells freeze and hurt the target.
» Shadow spells damage the target and lower their attack power.
» Smoke spells damage and poison the target.
» Miasmic spells damage the target and lowers its melee and ranged attack power.
There are also four different classes of spells:
Rush spells do high damage to a single target.
Blitz spells do very high damage to a single target.
Burst spells do high damage to enemies in a 3 x 3 area.
Barrage spells do very high damage to all enemies in a 3 x 3 area.
