'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is used to cast damage dealing spells with a wand or staff equipped, provided the player has the required [[Runecrafting#Runes|Runes]] in their [[Bank]] and the desired spell unlocked.  

Magic skill level increases [[Combat#Magic_Accuracy_Rating|Magic Accuracy Rating]] and [[Combat#Magic_Max_Hit|Maximum Hit]] (0.5% per level) when using spells and [[Combat#Magic_Evasion_Rating|Magic Evasion Rating]] when defending from spells. Raising Magic to {{SkillReq|{{PAGENAME}}|99}} will unlock the {{ItemIcon|Magic Skillcape}} for purchase from the [[Shop]], which doubles the rune cost reduction of items when equipped. Raising Magic to {{SkillReq|{{PAGENAME}}|120}} will unlock the {{ItemIcon|Superior Magic Skillcape}} for purchase, which quadruples the rune cost reduction of items and provides a +5% Magic Damage Bonus from equipment.

There are two Magic attack styles: Magic and Defensive.

When using the Magic attack style, the player receives 0.4 {{Skill|Magic|nolink=true}} XP per point of damage dealt, and a hidden bonus of +6 to the player's {{Skill|Magic|nolink=true}} level. This affects both [[Combat#Accuracy Rating|Magic Accuracy Rating]] and [[Combat#Magic Evasion Rating|Magic Evasion Rating]].

When using the Defensive attack style, the player instead receives 0.2 {{Skill|Magic|nolink=true}} XP and 0.2 {{Skill|Defence}} XP per point of damage dealt, and +3 hidden bonuses to both {{Skill|Magic|nolink=true}} and {{Skill|Defence|nolink=true}}. The {{Skill|Defence|nolink=true}} bonus affects all [[Combat#Evasion Rating|Evasion Ratings]].

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. {{Skill|Alt. Magic}} benefits from both these and its own [[Alternative Magic#Rune Preservation|preservation bonuses]]. The chance to preserve runes is capped at 80% for {{Icon|Combat}} magic, or 100% for {{Skill|Alt. Magic}}.

 

Rune cost reduction is a bonus which reduces the rune cost of a spell when cast, and is provided by by various items of [[Equipment]] (predominantly [[#Staves|Staves]] and [[#Wands|Wands]]). For example, while a {{ItemIcon|Staff of Air}} is equipped any spells cast will have their {{ItemIcon|Air Rune}} cost reduced by up to 3 runes. Any equipment within the [[Combat Passive Slot]] will not reduce the rune cost of spells.

 

When equipped, the {{ItemIcon|Magic Skillcape}} will double the rune cost reduction provided by any such equipment, while the {{ItemIcon|Superior Magic Skillcape}} will quadruple the rune cost reduction.

 

[[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.

 

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

 

Advanced staves can be crafted beginning at {{Skill|Runecrafting|nolink=true}} level 100. When equipped, they reduce the need to use {{ItemIcon|Poison Rune|Poison}}, {{ItemIcon|Infernal Rune|Infernal}}, or {{ItemIcon|Lightning Rune|Lightning}} runes, depending on the staff type. The {{ItemIcon|Meteorite Staff}} can also be crafted at {{Skill|Runecrafting|nolink=true}} level 115, which allows the casting of {{Icon|Meteor Shower|type=spell}} when equipped.

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

{{ItemIcon|Ocean Song}} and the {{ItemIcon|Slicing Maelstrom Wand}} can be created by upgrading 100 {{ItemIcon|Ocean Song Fragment|Ocean Song Fragments}} and {{ItemIcon|Slicing Maelstrom Wand Shard|Slicing Maelstrom Wand Shards}}, respectively. When equipped, the {{ItemIcon|Slicing Maelstrom Wand|nolink=true}} allows the casting of {{Icon|Slicing Maelstrom|type=spell}}.

 

 

 

* Various {{ItemIcon|Green Wizard Hat|Colored Wizard Robes}} can be acquired as loot from fighting various monsters or looting various dungeons. See the page for each piece of equipment to see a list of where they can be found.

Curses inflict the enemy with debuffs, making them weaker in a variety of ways. Curses may be used at the same time as Standard Magic, Auroras, and Archaic Magicks, but cannot be used with Ancient Magicks. When cast, all curses remain in effect for 3 attack turns.

Auroras provide the player with buffs, enhancing their abilities in combat. Auroras may be used alongside any other combat magic spells, and may also be used with [[Melee]] while the {{ItemIcon|Miolite Sceptre}} is equipped. Tier 3 Auroras may only be cast while the {{ItemIcon|Book of Eli}} is equipped. Tier 4 Auroras may only be cast while the {{ItemIcon|Book of the Ancients}} is equipped.

Ancient Magicks are powerful offensive spells that can be cast in place of Standard Magic. Auroras, such as {{Icon|Surge II|type=aurora}} for instance, can be used with Ancient Magicks, however effects that increase damage do nothing. In addition, the damage from Ancient Magicks is not increased by any bonuses provided by [[Equipment]], [[Prayer]], or [[Potions]], although accuracy rating is. Curses and [[Special Attacks]] cannot be used with Ancient Magicks.

Archaic Magicks are powerful offensive spells that can be cast in place of Standard Magic or Ancient Magicks. Unlike with Ancient Magicks, damage modifiers from [[Equipment]], [[Prayer]], and [[Potions]] will apply to Archaic Magicks. Curses and damage modifying Auroras can also be used, though [[Special Attacks]] still will not work.
