Active prayers provide a variety of passive benefits in combat. New prayers are unlocked as the Prayer skill levels up. Normal and Unholy Prayers can only be used while using [[Combat#Normal Damage|Normal Damage]] and consume Prayer Points while Abyssal Prayers can only be used while using [[Combat#Abyssal Damage|Abyssal Damage]] and consume Soul Points.
