Magic

Magic is used to cast damage dealing spells with a wand or staff equipped, provided the player has the required Runes in their Bank and the desired spell unlocked.

Mechanics

Magic skill level increases Magic Accuracy Rating and Maximum Hit (0.5% per level) when using spells and Magic Evasion Rating when defending from spells. Raising Magic to Magic (skill).svg Level 99 will unlock the Magic Skillcape for purchase from the Shop. Equipping the Magic Skillcape doubles the rune saving power of staves and imbued wands.

Attack Styles

There are two Magic attack styles: Magic and Defensive. The only difference is in what experience is earned while using them:

When using the Magic attack style, the player receives 0.4 Magic XP per point of damage dealt.

When using the Defensive attack style, the player instead receives 0.2 Magic XP and 0.2 Defence XP per point of damage dealt.

Rune Preservation

Rune preservation is a bonus which applies whenever a spell is cast, and provides a chance that the spell will be cast without any runes being consumed. Alt. Magic benefits from both these and its own preservation bonuses. The chance to preserve runes is capped at 80%.

Alternative Magic

Alternative Magic (Alt. Magic) is an alternative method to train Magic using non-combat spells. It is still the same skill as Magic - all XP is shared.

Equipment

Staves

Elemental staves can be crafted from elemental runes and logs with Runecrafting or looted from monsters. When equipped, staves reduce the need to use Air, Water, Earth, or Fire runes, depending on the staff type.

The Nature's Call Staff and Nature's Wrath Staff can be created by upgrading monster drops. When equipped, these staves allow the casting of Nature's Call and Nature's Wrath respectively. Additionally, both staves reduce the Nature Rune cost of spells by 1.

The Cloudburst Staff is the only staff that cannot be crafted.

All staves are two-handed.

Cloudburst Staff 85 N/A

Wands

Wands are one-handed, meaning they can be used with off hand equipment. Magic imbued wands can be crafted through Runecrafting using Magic Wand (Elite). When equipped, Magic imbued wands reduces the amount of Air, Water, Earth, or Fire runes needed to cast a spell by 3, depending on the wand type.
