While many of the content suggestions polled are quite good, there is a distinct lack of trade off and some ridiculously overpowered suggestions that will force the new spellbook as the default PvP set. Lets work down from the top before getting to suggestions.

Dampen - About as soggy as it sounds, I suppose you're reserving it for balancing
Absorb - THIS is interesting, it fits with the ruinous powers and is an appropriate caveat to standard protection for increased damage. By default, you will carry less food.
Withstand - Penalty too narrow, primarily pvp multi debuff.
Deflect - I would split the ability to deflect into a separate overheard that does not carry a protection feature. Reflecting pre-damage is hax.

Ancient P/S/S/W - Lower, 15% unless you match drain or unlock level
Trinitas - I have no objections but it would need equal or lower drain to Eagle Eye + Steel Skin
Decimate - I expect no less
Annihilate - Change the name to something more range-y
Vaporise - I'm completely trusting you the 4% magic bonus is adequate

Gambit - Ehhh, I don't want to be rushed by people with dice cubes over their heads. 8% is too little for an overhead, encourages rushing and only has utility in short term flicking. I fully expect the drain on this to be 10 points per second if it goes ahead.
Rebuke - Yes, creative, I like it. This is the true deflect.
Vindication - Keep redemption and protect item in both books and don't change the names or icons if they're regarded as essential.

Cruor's Vow - Make it an overhead like rebuke. Do not speak of Soulsplit. Are you sure 10% is not too high after all the times it was nerfed in RS3 after release? Maybe 5% even?
Glacies' Vow - Doesn't fit the character. Works functionally, but like thralls. 5/10
Umbra's Vow - No problems on its own, I don't like the cap, only works for PvP, it may be reasonable to tweak the rate and uncap it in PvM with an according unlock level and drain.
Fumus' Vow - This is clever, I like it. Second best to a anti-poison when in a tough spot. Needs a low prayer drain to be viable outside pvp.

Ruinous Grace - When...will this ever be used? What kind of a trade is that?
Ruinous Smite - Stop. Call it smite and be done with it. Same Icon. Otherwise get serious and properly creative with offensive prayer drain.
Wrath - Yes. The upgrade of retribution is always welcome.
Rejuvenation - Eh, why? Needs to have the same prayer drain as rapid heal but with a higher unlock to actually be an upgrade.
Metabolise - No, hax. This gives a huge unfair advantage to combat with the standard prayerbook. There are ways to play with the food penalty timer but this isn't it.
Berserker - Just call it preserve...please...


Suggestions

Make a pray that rechanges run energy from damage or another method.

Glacies, Fumor etc are more an opportunity for leech prayers. I would make the drain mechanic bottomless in PvM and capped in PvP so they have utility when bossing. Better tailoring needs to be done to keep the character of the ancient elements

Think ancient magics. You have no utility spells and 80% of your teleports are to the wilderness. The spell-book isn't something you sit on. Curious as to whether your vision is an alternative high level spell book or a deliberately aggressive spell-book.
