Curse spells

OS

This article is about spells that affect an opponent's stats. For the Zarosian prayers, see Ancient Curses.

A player casting curse.

Curse spells (or Curses) are a subclass of Combat spells in the arts of Magic and are mainly used to cause a negative effect to the caster's target other than damage. Curses are an underused part of Magic, mainly because spellcasters have little time to waste on casting non-combat spells. In prolonged fights, using a curse spell or two at the beginning may be a good idea. Curses also are useful when competing for a monster respawn, as the curse immediately engages the monster. Curse spells can only be used again on the same target once the first spell wore off, unless the curse 'splashes' and does not affect the opponent.

Lunar spells

All Lunar spells are members-only.

All spells that affect players within a 3x3 area around the caster will also affect players standing in the caster's square.

Icon	Spell	Magic Level	Runes Required	Experience	Notes
	Monster Examine*	66	111	61	Casting this spell on a monster reveals the monster's combat level, current life points, and maximum melee hit, as well as whether the monster can be a slayer assignment. If the monster uses a combat style other than melee, the style(s) in particular are mentioned as well.
	Cure Other	68	110	65	Cures a targeted player of poison, but does not grant immunity to poison as an antipoison potion does. The targeted player must have Accept Aid turned on.
	Cure Me	71	22	69	Cures the caster of poison. Like Cure Other, Cure Me does not provide immunity to poison.
	Cure Group	74	22	74	Functions like the Cure Me spell, except it cures all players within a 3x3 square area of the caster of poison. Players must have Accept Aid turned on in order to benefit from this spell. Cure Group does not grant immunity to poison.
	Stat Spy*	75	225	76	Can be cast on other players to see their skill levels, as well as current life points and prayer points. Can be cast on players who have Accept Aid off.
	Stat Restore Pot Share	81	21010	84	Casting this on a restore potion causes the caster to administer 1 dose to each player in a 3x3 square area (including standing on the caster square). Players must have Accept Aid turned on to benefit from this spell.
	Boost Potion Share	84	31210	88	If cast on a potion that boosts stats (such as a strength potion), the caster distributes 1 dose to each player within a 3x3 square area of the caster. Players must have Accept Aid on in order to benefit from this spell. Because Saradomin brew and Zamorak brew lower some skills and deal damage respectively, Boost Potion Share will not function with them.
	Disruption Shield**	90	3310	97	The next successful hit the caster receives from another player is negated. Does not work against NPCs.
	Heal Other	92	133	101	When cast on another player, the caster takes damage equal to up to 75% of their current life points and heals the targeted player, who must have Accept Aid on in order to be healed.
	Vengeance Other	93	2310	108	When cast on another player, the targeted player gains the Vengeance effect: The next time the targeted player is damaged by a monster or other player, 75% of the damage dealt is rebounded back to the damaging monster or player. The targeted player must have Accept Aid turned on in order to receive the Vengeance effect. The effect ends if the targeted player logs out without being hit.
	Vengeance	94	2410	112	The caster receives the Vengeance effect, which will recoil 75% of damage dealt the next time the caster is hit by a monster or player. However, the effect wears off if the caster logs out before being hit.
	Vengeance Group**	95	3411	120	The caster and any players within a 7x7 area of the caster (up to 50 players at once) receive the Vengeance effect. All other players must have Accept Aid on.
	Heal Group	95	364	124	The caster takes damage equal to up to 75% of their remaining life points and heals all players within a 3x3 square around the caster. Players must have Accept Aid on in order to be healed by this spell.

Ancient Magicks

The use of Ancient Magicks is members-only.

The Ancient Magicks combat spells are Elemental spells with an added Curse effect, making them some of the most dangerous combat spells in the game. These curse effects are linked to a specific elemental. Each of the four elemental classes has a different effect:

Element	Class name	Effect
	Smoke spells	Reduces the targets' chance to hit by 5% for 10 seconds.
	Shadow spells	Reduces the targets' damage by 5% for 10 seconds.
	Blood spells	Caster will be healed for 5% of the damage dealt to the caster's target.
	Ice spells	Freezes the target in place and prevent it from moving for 10 seconds (5 seconds in PvP).

In addition to these effects, the Burst and Barrage spells are Area of Effect (AoE), which will hit both the target and any other player or NPC standing in a 3x3 zone around the target. Rush and Blitz spells will only hit a single target.

When using abilities, the spells have an estimated 10% chance to apply their effect. This can be furthermore increased to 20% by using Dark Form prayer.

Trivia

• The use of the term "Curse" is similar to the use of the word "Positive" in Operant conditioning, in that it adds something to the target, regardless if this is seen as beneficial or not.
