Vengeance



Vengeance is a Lunar spell. After vengeance is cast, up to 75% of the damage next received by the player is dealt back to whatever hit the player, similar to a Ring of recoil. The player will also say "Taste vengeance!" when it is activated. Many players use the Lunar Spellbook for this particular spell so they can deal extra damage back to their opponents. Vengeance spells can only be cast once every 30 seconds by the same caster.

They are very popular when fighting in PvP especially when an opponent is using hard hitting weapons, eg. Godswords or Dharoks because you can recoil large amounts of damage back. However a way to counter vengance ability is simply take off your weapon and fight your opponent unarmed or switch to a lower hitting weapon to minimize the full potential of this spell, but this method would be quite impractical for dangerous pvp. As with all Lunar Magic spells, the quest Lunar Diplomacy must be completed to cast this spell. If vengeance is used, and the player is killed the next turn, the vengeance has no effect, most likely to prevent both players from dying at the same time.

Vengeance costs coins for each cast, or  coins if an Earth staff is equipped.

Remember, you cannot use normal Magic or Ancient Magicks spells if you are using Lunar Magicks, except by use of the Spell Book Swap spell.
