With an astral altar teleport from the Runecrafting Guild, a player can change back to the normal magic spell book from ancients by praying at the altar, and twice to activate lunar spells then deactivate leaving the normal spell book.
It is unique among Runecrafting altars in that it does not have ruins which must be accessed with a talisman, and unique among praying altars in that it does not recharge prayer points. The praying altar at the end of Desert Treasure is used to switch to Ancient Magicks, however, drains prayer completely.
It is located on Lunar Isle, south-east of the village. To go to Lunar Isle players must have completed the Lunar Diplomacyquest. Players may want to watch out for the three suqahs that are on the path to the altar, as they are aggressive and fairly strong.
Players who wish to talk to the Oneiromancer can find her floating usually just north-west of the altar, however, if you are not carrying a seal of passage when you try to talk to the Oneiromancer she will tell you that you are not welcome on the island and teleport you to Rellekka.
The astral altar and the Ourania Runecrafting Altar are the only two located altars that do not require a talisman, tiara, or Talisman-staff to enter, because both (and others yet to be found) were established by the Moon Clan, who flattened the pocket dimensions into real space.File:Astral Altar graphics glitch.jpg
The astral altar "sandy beach" fault
Many players who wish to switch from ancient magic to normal will use this altar because it does not drain your prayer and it is easy to access with a lyre and seal of passage.
If a player clicks "craft rune" or "pray" at a distance from the altar while running, when you pray or craft astral runes, the graphics quality lessens just for a moment, and returns to normal. This has not been fixed.
There was a glitch, where if you got camera angle just right, you look past the snow, seeing a sand-colored background.
This also causes the hills to disappear and the rocks/flowers to float in mid air.
