casting fire blast.gif
One of the uses of of Magic in Gielinor is to smite your foes from afar. To this end, mages have developed a number of delightful spells designed to hurl various magical energies at their enemies.

Unlike other spells, battle spells will not always succeed. Your ability to cast spells of this type is judged through a combination of your Magic skill and your Magic attack bonuses (these depend on what you are wearing).

Certain items (such as rune platebodies) will lower your magical attack bonus and therefore your chance of successfully casting this type of spell is also decreased.

It should also be noted that the amount of experience listed in the tables below is merely the base number of points you receive upon successfully casting any listed spell. You will gain additional experience (and not just in Magic) once your spell has actually damaged its target.

To start or leave a fight, you may need to trap your opponent on the spot, or use your magical skill to affect their combat related levels, all in an effort to gain the upper hand. To do this, view the below table for a list of hexes and holding spells.
