'''Deflect Curses''' are prayers from the [[Ancient Curses]] prayer book. They are popularly used due to having the same drain rate as their respective [[protection prayers]] and the chance to deflect damage back at the enemy, commonly known as "pray melee, range and mage".
Players need to have completed [[The Temple at Senntisten]] to access these prayers. Once players have completed the quest, they can switch to the Ancient Curses prayer book by praying at the [[Altar of Zaros]] in the Zarosian temple beneath the [[Digsite]]. Deflect curses stop 100% of damage caused by NPCs and 40% of damage caused by other players (in PvP). In addition, they also have a chance of deflecting some of the damage they would have caused back onto the attacker. As with 'Protect from' prayers, players can only deflect one style of combat at a time (Magic, melee or Ranged). Creatures that can only be damaged in a specific way (for example, the vyrewatch can only be damaged by the Ivandis flail or Blisterwood weapons) cannot be hurt using a deflect curse.
Some high levelled monsters and bosses (eg. [[Nomad (monster)]], [[Bork]], [[Jade vine]]) cannot be harmed by deflect curses and the player will get a message "You are unable to reflect damage back to this creature."

While activated, the Curses have a deflect rate of approximately 60%. This means that on slightly more than half of the hits, the player will wave their arm in a blocking gesture, accompanied by a light (Red-Melee, Blue-Magic, Green-Ranged), showing that the deflect occurred. When this happens, 10% of the '''blocked''' damage will be deflected back, and if it would have hit a 0 or under 10, there will be no recoil. However, recoils become helpful when fighting a strong monster([[God Wars Dungeon]] bosses or [[TzTok-Jad]]) because they deal higher damage than normal monsters.
