New spells were invented by modern wizards of the Wizards' Tower, driving the ancient magicks even further into obscurity.

Long after the end of the God Wars, at the beginning of the fifth age, the art of Runecrafting was rediscovered, giving humans a new supply of runes. Zuriel, one of the most powerful mages at that time and one of the few who still possessed the knowledge, devised the Miasmic spells, which at one time was the most powerful combat spell set. The powerful spells caused much destruction during the enormous battles, although the number of people who knew about the spells was extremely limited. Many of the remaining followers of Zaros, who comprised the majority of spell-casters, were killed or imprisoned. The God Wars held after Zaros' banishment saw the slow fade of the Ancient Magicks from common knowledge. During this time, only the Mahjarrat used Ancient Magicks, mostly because they didn't use runes.ДЄ player casting the Ancient Magicks spell Ice Barrage The destruction of the kingdom and the slow disappearance of runestones caused the Ancient Magicks to become a rarely used form of magic.

The spellbook also contained various teleport spells which made it easier for the Zarosians to travel across their kingdom, which stretched from the northern Wilderness, to northern Misthalin and north-western Morytania.

The very destructive and powerful spells of the Ancient Magicks proved to be very useful during the wars in the era. In the second age they were very commonly used, mostly by the followers of Zaros, who ruled a very large kingdom at that time. The Ancient Magicks are a long forgotten and destructive set of spells.
