Definitions

Lets begin with some basic definitions of magic-related items:

1. Rune - Runes are stones with magical qualities that allow you to cast spells.
2. Staff - The staff is the basic weapon used by the wizard. Certain staffs are more
powerful than others, and some take the place of certain runes (more on that later).
3. Robes - Robes are the only clothing made especially for mages. Robes are very light,
which allows mages to run farther than if they were in metal armor, and they also add
to our maging capabilities, unlike armor, which lowers the amount of damage you do
and the experience you gain.
4. Mage - One who uses magic.

Magic is an amazingly powerful form of combat. Magic is like ranging, but instead of using
arrows, mages use their magic spells. Your magic level tells you which spells you can cast, and
how much and how often you will hit an enemy with your spell. As your magic level gets
higher, more spells become available to you, and as your level rises, you can hit more often
and for higher amounts with spells you already know.

Magic can also be used out of combat. With magic, you can change bones into food, turn
anything into cash, teleport to the major cities, and much more! Your magical defence is
balanced in a 70% magic skill and 30% defence split.

To look at the spells you can cast, click the spell book on the right side of the screen. Hover
your mouse over the spells and you will see the level and the runes required for the spell:
If you have the runes, it will show the amount of runes you have next to the amount required
for the spell.

Runes

To get runes to cast spells, you can buy them from either rune store (one in Port Sarim, one in
Varrock). The rune store in Port Sarim is cheaper than the one in Varrock, but it only stocks
1000 of each basic rune opposed to the 5000 in Varrock. The stores stock air, fire, water,
earth, body, mind, chaos, and death runes. Runes can also be bought in the Magic Guild
(Yanille) and the Mage Arena. Another very good way to get runes is to craft them yourself.
Refer to the Runecrafting Skill Guide for information. Consult the following chart to see a mini-
picture of each rune, and some details:

Combination Runes (Members-only)

The new combination runes act as one of each supporting rune. Thus, casting the Crumble
Undead spell (normally requiring 2 Earth, 2 Air and 1 Chaos) would require only 2 Dust and 1
Chaos. Refer to the Runecrafting Skill Guide for details on making these runes.

Spells and Experience

Casting spells in the new Runescape is very different from the old version in RS Classic. The
amount of hits you hit with your spell affects the amount of experience you receive; a higher
hit gives more experience. If you hit a 5, you will gain 4 experience for each point you hit for,
so you gain 20 experience. Some pictures that may be of some help when using magic to fight
are shown below, along with a table that shows the spells, the magic level needed to cast
them, the runes needed to cast them, and the effect of the spell.

Note: Crumble Undead's Experience has been Halved. Both as Base exp, and its splash
damage bonus. Crumbles base (no damage) exp is now 24.5. Crumble Splash damage bonus
is now 2exp per dmg, instead of the usual 4 you get with other spells.

The image below shows the "auto-mage" screens, which allow you to click attack like you
normally would with melee combat, but you use magic to attack the monster instead.

The image below shows your list of spells. The ones that are darkened (all of the ones shown
here) cannot be cast because you do not have the right amount of runes or magic level
needed to cast them.

Types of Spells

Certain types of spells are used for certain things. First there are the Missile spells. The missile
spells include all of the battle spells that actually cause damage to your opponent during a
fight.

The second type of spell is the Enchant spell. Enchant spells are used to enchant jewelry. The
only jewelry that can be enchanted right now are amulets and rings (edit: recent modification
by Jagex now allows members to enchant Sapphire necklace for Burthorpe Games Room
teleport). Enchanting rings is members-only, but f2p can enchant amulets. F2p can enchant
Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby, and Diamond amulets, while members can enchant Sapphire,
Emerald, Ruby, Diamond, Dragon, and Onyx amulets and rings.

Conversion spells are very important and useful. Conversion spells are used to convert things
into other things. These spells are: Bones to Bananas, Bones to Peaches, Low Level Alchemy,
and High Level Alchemy (Low Alch and High Alch). High alch is a great spell for getting cash.
Alchemy turns any item on which the spell is cast into gp. The amount of gp received is the
same as if you sold that item to the item's respective specialty store when the store has no
stock of the item.

The final type of spell is the Teleportation Spell. These spells are extremely useful, especially
for members who have to travel long distances to go places since their world is so much
bigger. Teleportation is not just for teleporting your character though. Tele-grab is another
useful teleportation spell. It grabs whatever item you cannot reach but can see so you don't
have to actually be next to it and pick it up. It is very useful for situations like if you ever kill
the caged demon in the Wizards tower south of Draynor Village and he drops a Rune med
helm or something else of value.

Slayer Staff

The Slayer Staff (55 Slayer and 50 Magic Required) has 6 Spells which it can autocast,
through a modified autocast interface. These are Crumble undead, Magic Dart, Wind Wave,
Water Wave, Fire Wave and Earth Wave.

Ancient Magic

To use Ancient Magic, you must have completed the Desert Treasure Quest. To switch between
the new Ancient Magic and the old Magic spells, pray at the altar inside the pyramid where you
finished the quest. Every time you pray at this altar, your prayer will be drained.

Ancient spells can be cast with any staff, but can only be auto-cast with the Ancient staff.

• Smoke spells poison your enemy (2 or 4 damage)

• Shadow spells reduce your target's attack (10%)
• Blood spells raise your hp (25% of damage)
• Ice spells stop your target from moving (5 to 20 secs)

• Rush spells are medium level single target spells

• Burst spells are medium level multi-target spells
• Blitz spells are high level single target spells
• Barrage spells are high level multi-target spells

Multi-target spells can hit a unlimited amount of targets as long as they are standing in the
3x3 grid where the spell is cast.

For attack spells, the base experience points (XP) are listed in the table. To calculate XP for
these spells, follow this formula: Damage Inflicted x 2 + Base XP = Total XP

Lunar Magic

To use Lunar Magic, a character must have completed the Lunar Diplomacy quest. Characters
that have completed the Lunar Diplomacy quest may access the Lunar spell list by praying at
the Astral Altar; this action does not drain prayer like the altar for Ancient Magicks.

All Lunar Magic requires Astral Runes, and there are no battle spells in Lunar Magic; there is
therefore no autocast option for these spells. Much of Lunar Magic involves teleportation, as all
of the teleport spells have a group-based variant. Other Lunar Magic spells involve object
manipulation and aiding other players in the area.

Enchanting Bolts

Any gem tipped bolt can be enchanted using your Magic skill. Enchanting your gem tipped
bolts will result in it having a special effect. These special effects are different for each
enchanted gem tipped bolt. To enchant a gem tipped bolt you must be wielding or carrying it,
click on the level 4 spell and a interface will pop up, click on the bolt you wish to enchant (you
must be carrying or wielding it).

The following image shows the requirements (level and runes) you will need to enchant a gem
tipped bolt.

In the following table you will find more info about what effect the enchanting has on the
certain gem tipped bolts (this table is sorted from the magic level needed, from low to high).

Staffs

Basic Staffs

There are many different kinds of staffs available to use, including some that are members-
only. The basic elemental staffs can be bought at Zaff's Staff shop in Varrock, on the
northwest side of the town square. While wielding the elemental staffs, you will not have to
use the elemental rune that pertains to your staff. For example, if you wield an Staff of Air,
you can cast air strike with just 1 mind rune and no air runes.

Battle Staffs
Now for Battle Staffs. Battle Staffs are stronger than normal staffs, but with a Powered Orb
attached, they still take the place of certain runes. For example, if you have an enchanted
battle staff of fire, you wont need any fire runes, and your magic will hit harder than if you
had a non-enchanted staff. To get a Battle Staff, you must use a Powered Orb (either Air,
Water, Earth, or Fire orb) on a Battle Staff (this requires Crafting skill).

Powering Orbs

To enchant an orb you will need the following items:

1. A glass orb
2. 3 cosmic runes
3. 30 basic runes of the type of orb you want to make (ex. 30 Fire runes if you want a
Battlestaff of Fire)

Take the above items to the Obelisk location indicated below. Cast the appropriate spell to
Enchant the orb. Then you may use the Crafting skill to attach the powered orb to a
Battlestaff.

Mystic Staffs (Enchanted Battlestaffs)

The next best staffs are the Mystic Staffs (Enchanted Battlestaffs). These are pretty much the
same as the Non-Enchanted Staffs, but they are even stronger. To enchant a battle staff, you
must have completed the Scorpion's Catcher quest, which means Mystic Staffs are members
only. Then you can get Thormac the wizard to enchant your battlestaffs for 40k. Thormac can
be found in the Sorcerers' Tower just north west of the Legends Guild, by the Temple of Ikov.

Special Staffs

The remaining staffs you must get from completing a quest. The Iban Staff is received after
you beat the Underground Pass Quest. After you beat the Mage Arena mini-quest you can
choose between the Staff of Zamorak, Staff of Guthix, or Staff of Saradomin. All 4 of these
staffs have a certain spell that can only be used if you have that staff. Example: for the Claws
of Guthix spell, you have to have the Staff of Guthix. The same applies with Iban Blast,
Saradomin Strike, and Flames of Zamorak. The Ancient staff is obtained via the Desert
Treasure Quest and is the only staff able to auto-cast Ancient Magic spells.

Quests

There are a few quests that give magic experience, but not very much. It is advisable to do
these quests before you actually start training, because you don't want to have to start out
with Air strike.

1. Imp Catcher
2. Watchtower
3. Witch's Potion
4. Legends if you choose magic experience
5. Desert Treasure
6. Lunar Diplomacy

Wizard's Mind Bomb

The Wizard's Mind Bomb is a drink that temporarily raises your magic level by 2 or 3; it raises
by 2 under level 50 magic, and 3 above. It is useful at times when quests or other things
require a certain level and you are very close, but not quite there. For members, If you have
63-65 magic, you can use it to gain entrance into the Wizard's Guild. This drink can be
purchased in Falador and Burthorpe Inns. It can also be brewed; mature Wizard's Mind Bombs
increase your magic by 4, the same amount as a magic potion.

Magic Guild

Player Killing

AH! Player Killing, a great way to make money, train magic or just plainly have fun.

What to wear?
Now, when maging you always must wear robes, right? Yes. But in this case you must bring
some ranged armour (dragon hide is the best!), robes AND normal armour. You may be
thinking "why?" Well, you see, in the wilderness there is a triangle known as the PKing
Triangle.

Remember that in the wild:

Mages own Warriors -> Warriors own Rangers -> Rangers own Mages

Now, to help us protect from warriors we need one of these 3 spells

 • Bind
• Snare
• Entangle

NOTE: Only members can use all three spells. Non-members can only use Bind.

Now, these 3 spells hold your opponent for 5, 10, or 15 seconds, respectively.

Helpful stuff:

• Runes to teleport out of the wild. (Won't work if you go deep into Wildy.)
• Food, Lots of it!
• Runes (No duh)
• Potions - Members

When a warrior attacks?

When a warrior attacks you, use one of these spells on him. Then RUN! When you get a good
distance away, cast spells like crazy! Make sure you have robes on! When the warrior comes
back for revenge put on your armour. Then cast one of those 3 spells again. Keep doing this!

When a ranger attacks?

When a ranger attacks, your options are simple. Run away. Or put on your armour and go kill
the pest. They can't bind you unless they have mage stuff too, but don't worry about that.

When a mage attacks?

When a mage attacks you, put on your range armour (dragon hide is best because it has great
protect from magic abilities) and start ranging the mage. Even if they use one of those spells
on you it doesn't matter! You can continue to attack!
