All spells cost {{ItemIcon|Air Rune|Air Runes}}, but {{ItemIcon|Water Rune|Water}}, {{ItemIcon|Earth Rune|Earth}}, and {{ItemIcon|Fire Rune|Fire}} spells additionally cost their respective runes. | {{Skill|Magic}} in this challenge will mainly consist of casting Air spells, since you can remove one colour from the rune costs.

This is a bad thing for us, since we have no real way to farm a lot of runes yet. However, we can get started by farming some catalyst runes from the {{MonsterIcon|Vampire}} and the {{MonsterIcon|Master Wizard}}. The {{MonsterIcon|Vampire}} is probably best for now, since it is a {{Skill|Ranged}} monster, meaning we can strike it with our powerful {{Skill|Attack|Melee}}. Even considering the drop chance and drop rates are lower than from the {{MonsterIcon|Master Wizard}}, this will be faster overall as it will crucially save more food. Killing {{MonsterIcon|Wizard}} until one piece of either {{ItemIcon|Green Wizard Hat|Green Robes|nolink=true}} or {{ItemIcon|Blue Wizard Hat|Blue Robes|nolink=true}} (at {{Skill|Magic|10}}) for each slot is recommended. | This is a bad thing for us, since we have no real way to farm a lot of runes yet.

Catalyst Runes are the runes you use to power up your spells, while Elemental runes select which element you’re using. You can remove the cost for Elemental runes with staves, which we will abuse to completely nullify the {{ItemIcon|Air Rune}} cost, and thus primarily use air spells. Remember, since prayer points are a lot easier to farm on a CO than runes, you will generally want to run the two highest offensive prayers at all times when training magic. However, it is only worthwhile if the prayers give magic damage boost ({{PrayerIcon|Mystic Mastery}}, {{PrayerIcon|Augury}} and {{PrayerIcon|Battleheart}}) or if you are very low level and your accuracy is low (below 90%). | Catalyst Runes are the runes you use to power up your spells, while Elemental runes select which element you’re using.
