Vengeance



Vengeance is a Lunar spell that rebounds 75% of the damage of the next hit back to their opponent, similar to a ring of recoil or deflect curses. Some monsters are immune to it, though. The player will also say "Taste vengeance!" when it is activated. Many players use the Lunar spellbook for this particular spell in order to deal extra damage back to their opponents. A player may only cast vengeance once every 30 seconds.

This spell is very popular when fighting in PvP, especially when an opponent is using hard hitting weapons such as a godsword or Dharok's because it is possible to rebound large amounts of damage back. However, a way to counter vengeance is to simply strike the player with a lower-hitting weapon to minimise the full potential of this spell, but this method is quite impractical for dangerous PvP situations. As with all Lunar Magic spells, the quest Lunar Diplomacy must be completed to cast this spell.

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

Trivia

 * The animation of the vengeance skull is also seen in the Quest Within the Light, when the player goes on top of the Death altar. Several vengeance skulls appear and fade away on top of the pillars that surround the altar.
 * Prior to the Constitution update on 3 March 2010, if vengeance was cast and the player casting the spell was killed by the next blow, the spell had no effect. Now, due to a hidden update, the spell will activate on death, making it possible to kill your opponent when they kill you except in the duel arena where there must be 1 winner
 * You are unable to cast vengeance inside of a POH, including Vengeance Other
