Runescape SUGGESTION: ADDITIONAL QUEST ABILITIES
I revised and changed a few of my suggestions for the current abilities, so give those a look if you think this is the same thread.
This thread will be discussing a number of current abilities that could use some reworking, as well as a few concepts for future ability ideas and mechanics. If you feel something on this thread is unreasonable or overpowered, reply with a well thought out post explaining why.
[SUGGESTION: ADDITIONAL QUEST ABILITIES]
Many of us enjoyed receiving abilities as a reward for TWW. Some might have not been that great, but it was fun trying out new abilities. So, why not go back and add ability rewards for past quests? It would help motivate players to do more quests and finish storylines, as well as help them understand Runescape gold lore.
~Desert Treasure: While Magic gets an entire arsenal a spells, all combat styles will receive a new ability.
` [Ultimate] Blood Ritual (Constitution) – Reduce your damage by 25%, but gain health equal to 10% of your damage dealt for the next 60 seconds. 300-second cooldown.
` [Basic] Shadow Strike (Ranged) – Deals 100% weapon damage instantly and an additional 125% weapon damage over 6 seconds. 20-second cooldown.
` [Threshold] Smokescreen (Melee) – In the cover a smokescreen, you strike your enemy for 157% weapon damage, reducing their chance to hit by 10%, for 10 seconds, in the process. 30-second cooldown.
` [Basic] Frostbite (Magic) – Deals 100-125% of your active spell’s damage over 6 seconds. Damage is increased to 125%-157% if using a water spell. 20-second cooldown.

` [Ultimate] Zarosian Zealot (Misc.) – You reach out to Zaros, who restores 50% of your Prayer Points over 10 seconds, while also negating any Prayer Drain for the next 30 seconds. 300-second cooldown.

~While Guthix Sleeps: 270 quest points should mean something.

~Ritual of the Mahjarrat
