Zaros' Plan:
- Stop the drain of power from Mah's ritual (saving his own life)
- Drain Mah's power instead to gather more power for himself
- Save his own Mahjarrat followers (at least)
-
If the player gave him the Light Simulcron
(note: this is PURELY speculation) use the ritual as a means to stop losing power
The problem with Zaros' plan was that even he realized that he couldn't do it alone.
The more performing the ritual, the better it's chances of working.
Zamorak's Entry: what it did
- Zamorak was aware of the power drain
- Due to his distrust of Zaros, his expectations were that either Zaros would drain the Mahjarrat himself or use them to revitalize Mah
Simply put, Zamorak didn't know what Zaros was planning.
Zaros did have a long and nasty history of empty promises.
Then you go thousands of years without seeing each other (even assuming Zaros was dead).
Of course he's going to have trust issues. And rightfully so with Zaros' history.
Now as for Zamorak, I wouldn't be surprised if he was on par with Saradomin now.
- he lost power after WE1
- he got it back after Dishonor Among Thieves
- During his "duel" with Zaros, he burns up power and sacrifices more to empower the other Mahjarrat
- He uses the Ritual off Mah to get power back
Yes, after his fight, he lost his wings (a sign of a drop in power). But since he had transformed, his second empowering from Mah didn't carry over to making newer/better wings.
But as all the Mahjarrat clearly got back all the power they'd loss, and more, there's no reason to think that Zaros and Zamorak scaled that up.
The thing is, Mah was running on fumes, she only had so much power left to give.
