The shadow ancient sceptre is a sceptre requiring 75 Magic, 60 Strength, and 50 Attack to wield. It is made by attaching the shadow quartz, dropped by The Whisperer, to the ancient sceptre; this process can be reversed, allowing players to switch between quartzes as desired.
Like its predecessor, it will increase the effects of Ancient Magicks by 10%, with the added effect of lowering the target's Attack, Strength, and Defence levels when casting shadow spells (if those levels have not already been drained).
If the player dies below level 20 Wilderness, it will remain in the player's inventory; however, the item will be unusable and must be repaired by using it on Perdu and paying him 260,616. If not protected when the player dies at level 20 Wilderness or higher, the sceptre is converted into coins. Alternatively, a Trouver parchment and a payment of 500,000 coins can be given to Perdu in order to lock it (after which it gains the (l) suffix); this allows the item to be kept in death, unbroken, even if the player dies at level 20 Wilderness or higher.
