Ancient Magicks

Compare Lunar Spells.

Ancient Magicks are a branch of Magic that can be used once the fiendish Desert Treasure quest is complete. They require very high levels of magic, but include some of the best combat magic spells in the game.

Changing to Ancients and back
To change to Ancient Magicks spells, you need to go to the pyramid in the desert south of Al-Kharid, east of Pollivineach. Enter the pyramid at the rear, and pray at the altar there to change between ancients and standard spells. Note that praying at this altar drops Prayer points to zero.

Ancient Staff
After you complete Desert Treasure you can buy an ancient staff, for 80k from eblis, around the circle of mirrors. You can only equip the staff after you've finished the quest. Elbis only sells the staff once. However, it is reported that the mummies will ocasionally drop an Ancient Staff.

Combat
Whilst the teleports used in Ancient Magicks are fairly poor, mostly into the Wilderness, the combat spells are awesomely powerful. The ice spells notably have the same effect as the Entangle type spells as well as causing damage, making them potentially extremely dangerous, even at low levels of the Wilderness.
