So, you've been experimenting with Ancient Magicks, Lunar spells, or the spooky Arceuus book, but now you miss the good ol' normal spellbook. Don’t worry, switching back is simple—and surprisingly drama-free. Here’s a guide to help you get your magic mojo back.

Step 1: The Places to Switch

To get back to the standard spellbook, you need to visit one of the following locations:

  • Ancient Magicks: Head to the Ancient Pyramid (near Pollnivneach in the desert). Yes, you’ll probably have to dodge a few aggressive mummies again.

  • Lunar Spellbook: Visit the Astral Altar on Lunar Isle. Bring your Seal of Passage unless you want a stern lecture from Baba Yaga.

  • Arceuus Spellbook: Head to the Dark Altar in Great Kourend. If you haven’t unlocked this, you’re probably regretting skipping all those Arceuus favor grinds.

  • Player-Owned House (POH): If you’ve got a fancy Altar of the Occult, you can switch spellbooks without running all over Gielinor. Convenient, huh? Just make sure you’re using someone’s house that actually has it.

Step 2: How to Switch Back

Once you’re at your altar of choice:

  1. Click on it like you’re about to switch to the spellbook it represents.

  2. Instead of actually confirming a switch, cancel the action, and—ta-da!—you’re back to the normal spellbook. You can also confirm it then just switch it back right after.

  3. If you're at the Altar of the Occult, just pick Standard Spellbook, and you're golden.

It’s like telling magic, “Thanks, but no thanks. I just want to be basic again.”

Step 3: Enjoy the Simplicity

You’re back to the classic spells, like Teleport to Falador or Superheat Item. Sure, it’s not flashy, but at least you won’t need a small warehouse of exotic runes for each spell.

Pro Tip: If you’re indecisive and like to bounce between spellbooks, consider setting up an Altar of the Occult in your own POH. It’s like having a magic wardrobe that instantly changes your style without leaving the house. Who says convenience isn’t magical?

Final Blurb

Switching back to the normal spellbook isn’t complicated, and now you’ve got multiple ways to do it. Whether you’re running to a desert pyramid, visiting Lunar Isle, or flexing with a POH altar, the choice is yours. Now go forth and cast Varrock Teleport like a true magician of the basics.
