-Magic 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. 0.4 Magic experience is earned per point of damage dealt to enemies while casting spells. This can be increased by 7% by equipping the {{ItemIcon|Gold Emerald Ring}}. Raising Magic to {{SkillReq|{{PAGENAME}}|99}} will unlock the {{ItemIcon|Magic Skillcape}} for purchase from the [[Shop]]. Equipping the [[Magic Skillcape]] doubles the rune saving power of staves and imbued wands.

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 {{Skill|Magic}} XP per point of damage dealt.
+When using the Defensive attack style, the player instead receives 0.2 {{Skill|Magic}} XP and 0.2 {{Skill|Defence}} XP per point of damage dealt.
 == 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.
