Prayer List
Prayer interface
Main article: Prayer
Prayer is a skill which works best alongside your primary combat style (be it Magic, Melee or Ranged). Through the use of prayers you can temporarily increase stats, reduce damage, and protect against various attacks.
To view what prayers are available to you in game, simply click on the prayer list icon 
. You should now have a list of all the prayers, with those currently available to you being lit up.
Each of the prayers can be turned on or off individually, and while in use will grant your character the advantages as listed above. To activate a prayer, left-click the icon in question and it will have a light appear around it, which lets you know that the prayer is in use. To deactivate it, simply click on it again.
At any one time you may have a single protect prayer (Protect from Magic, Protect from Melee, Protect from Missiles) active, as well as one of the following options:
So you can only use one attack-method prayer at a time (Attack and Strength combined count as melee-style here), and only one Defence prayer.
Any active prayers are displayed on the combat interface.
For a list of all standard prayers see Prayers.
Curse List
Curse interface
The curse list has the same functionality as the prayer list.
Cures are available after completing The Temple at Senntisten and are focused more on damaging and weakening your enemy than making yourself more resilient as prayers are.
For a list of all curses see Curses.
Remaining Prayer Points
While any of your prayers or curses are active, your prayer points will start to slowly drain towards zero. The more prayers/curses you use at once and the more powerful they are, the faster your points will be drained. When you run out of prayer points, all prayers/curses will automatically stop working and you will need to either pray at an altar or drink a Prayer potion before you are able to use them again (if you die this will also reset them).
As your Prayer level increases the amount of prayer points you have available to you will also increase. Note that any reduction to your Prayer skill itself will naturally heal over time.
