Desert Treasure - Unlock the Ancient Magicks

Upon completing this quest you will gain access to the Ancient Magicks spell list. Unlike other spells, which you are able to unlock as your magic level advances, these spells require you to change your entire spell list (or ‘book’) by travelling to the pyramid and praying at a special altar. To change back to the original spellbook, you simply pray at the altar again.

The following are a list of Ancient Magick spells, divided into the type of damage they inflict.

Please note: The ‘Burst’ and ‘Barrage’ spell types are multi-target, but their multi-target effect is castable only in multicombat areas and will hit a 9 square area (i.e: the opponent is the centre of a 3×3 grid). Be warned, you will hit your friends if they are in this area, regardless of any Wilderness capes being worn! If you are not in a multicombat area, the spell will only affect one target.

Smoke spells

When a smoke spell is cast, not only will the spell hit damage, you will poison your opponent.

Shadow spells

When a Shadow spell is cast, not only will the spell hit damage, but you will temporarily lower your opponents Attack level.

Blood spells

When a Blood spell is cast, not only will the spell hit damage, but you will heal up to a quarter of the damage inflicted.

Ice spells

When an ice spell is cast, not only will the spell hit damage, but you will freeze your opponent in place for the following amount of time:

Teleportation Spells

Please note: Some of the higher level Ancient Magick teleport spells will teleport you to certain depths of the Wilderness. Please remember that this does not mean it is possible to teleport back out. The limitations of no teleports past level 20 Wilderness still applies.
