Miasmic Blitz requires a magic level of 85 and can do a maximum of 280 life points per spell making it the strongest blitz spell. In addition, any players affected by the spell will attack with melee or ranged 50% slower. (weapon attack speed cut in half) for 36 seconds. As with all Ancient Magicks spells, the quest Desert Treasure must be completed to cast this spell. The spell also requires Zuriel's staff, making it one of the first Ancient Magicks to require more than runes (along with the other Miasmic spells)
Remember, you cannot use Lunar Spells or Standard spells if you are using Ancient Magicks.

Due to the fact that Zuriel's staff degrades over time, an extra 739.2 coins should be added to the cost of each spell (assuming the non-corrupt version of the staff is used) for a total of 2,101.2.
At first glance this spell seems to cost less than Blood Burst. However, if the degrading of the Zuriel's staff is taken into account, it would be the fourth most expensive spell in the game after Miasmic Barrage, Blood Barrage and Shadow Barrage.
Trivia
- The word "Miasmic" probably comes from "miasma", the gas that was believed to be responsible for plague and other diseases in 1700 Britain which actually didn't exist; plague was more due to rats and other vermin.
- "Miasmic" could also refer to the Ancient Greek word 'miasma' which referred to blood pollution from killing those taking shelter in a temple, or killing family.
