[edit] Hits 4 people?

The area spells (burst and barrage) only hit four people? Are we sure? My friends say it can hit as many as are crammed into the space, potentially a limit of 1999. (that would be some sweet experience...) Vimescarrot 08:06, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

A picture from Rune tips. Those are barricades though. -- Couchpotato99 (talk) (contribs) 20:34, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

That is a sexy picture to say the least. Hyenaste^talk 20:37, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

When I get back from where I'm going (4-5 hours) I'll change the pages for the multi hitting spells to get rid of the 4-person limit, unless someone objects. Or I forget. Or fall asleep. Or just can't be bothered... Vimescarrot 08:05, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

That pic's link is broken. Mathwhiz90601 22:02, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

The KB says you can't hit more than 9 people at a time with any ancient spell. I've used both burst and barrage quite a bit, and I know without a doubt a burst can hit 9 monsters/players, just like the barrages.

[edit] Update spell book!!!

I have ancient magicks and yes it pwns but someone needs to update spellbook. The first teleport to edgeville need 0 magic and requires no runes. Patcong ^talk 20:47, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

As I asked on the Astral Altar page, when you switch your spells, can you switch to Ancients when you have Lunar spells active? Mathwhiz90601 22:02, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry but I'm not sure. I only have ancients and regular but never lunar. But I think you can't... Patcong ^talk 20:25, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, you CAN switch to ancients if you currently have the lunar spellbook switched. HOWEVER, its a one way trip, meaning that when you switch back, you will only get regular spellbook instead.--Pkthis 19:01, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong max hits?

According to the RuneScape Website, the following max hits may be incorrect:

Spell	RuneScapeWiki's max hit	RuneScape.com's max hit
Smoke Rush	15	13
Shadow Rush	16	14
Blood Rush	17	15
Ice Rush	18	16
Smoke Burst	19	17
Shadow Burst	20	17

I am not sure, seeing that I am not yet a member. Would you like a pair of Ch1$lled Socks on your To1$sted Toes? 12:17, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A cursed spellbook

I believe that the ancient magicks spellbook is cursed. I remember juna saying that "Ancient magicks are not to be toyed with", not to mention everyone is scared of the god that created the spellbook and also, I find that i get hit more often using ancient magicks than regular magic.--Pkthis 19:16, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Additionally, when you activate the spell book, the gods abandon you and you are drained of prayer. HYENASTE 21:13, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Censored ? I think not !

I removed the triva section since 'ancient magicks' is no longer censored in game .

-Really, i thought it was censored barely a week ago. It seemed that it comes censored in certain sentences (like rc).--117.102.53.64 20:15, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question Reagarding Ice Burst

When you cast ice burst once I have found that it freezes the target for 10 seconds like it should. However, when you cast it again immediately afterwards it seems to "unfreeze" the target. I noticed this in castle wars against players, but I am not sure if it does it to npcs also. Is it supposed to do this? Please let me know. I have only 73 magic and so I do not know about other higher leveled spells. Thank you. Invincibility 17:50, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Grammar error

I corrected some grammar in the page. The first line on the page is Ancient Magicks are. This should be Ancient Magicks is because Ancient Magics is one thing in itself not multiple things. The reason I did not just change it back is because I figured that it would be reverted again. So I wanted to ask here can we leave it like I put it or is it going to continue to be changed?

[edit] Question about tele tabs

can you make an Edgeville tele tab while on the Ancient spellbook? Xxtsaixx 20:57, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't think so. I think that the only tele-tabs that can be made are from the modern magic book, though as I don't have ancient magicks I do not know for sure. Lanning9 21:08, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

No, it is not possible to make Ancient Magick teleport tablets at this time. There may be an update in the future where you will be able to. Babyvegeta93 21:10, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wilderness Teleport Questions

I'm curious. Ancient Magicks has a number of Wilderness-related spells, including a teleport to the Demonic Ruins. Does this mean that if I'm having problems with a revenant, I can teleport to the Graveyard of Shadows or Demonic Ruins even if I'm past Wilderness L30? Or are spells like Annakarl Teleport (Demonic ruins) effectively one-way?

Nerlone 21:34, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

The Ancient Magicks teleports work just like normal teleports...if you are above level 30 wilderness you can't use them. Lanning9 01:10, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Zarosian?

Okay, come on. The staff has Zaro's symbol, the spells are cruel like Zaros, the teleports all bring you to Zarosian locations. How is Zaros not mentioned? Also, this isn't the only time Zaro's name is avoided. Ancient Magicks = Ancient (Zaros) Statuette. Similar, right? --76.127.155.176 13:30, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

It's a Mahjarrat spellbook, not necessary Zarosian. We have seen a Zamorakian Mahjarrat, Enakhra, using them too, and Lucien (Zamorakian previously) taught the spells to Solus, a Zamorakian mage. --Muhahaa 13:11, September 5, 2009 (UTC)

I agree with our anonymous friend here. Zaros's symbol is on the staff and all the places it takes you are Zarosian fortresses.  Psycho Robot Talk  20:03, September 5, 2009 (UTC)
