Magic - Extra Features

The Magic Guild

The Magic Guild is located in the centre of Yanille - South of Ardougne - and is only accessible to those whose Magic level is 66 or above. You can also drink a Wizard's Mind Bomb from level 63 which will temporarily increase your Magic skill by 3 levels. This item can be purchased from the inns at both Burthorpe and Falador.

It is also possible for Members to drink a Magic potion, which will temporarily increase their Magic skill by 4 levels, please see the Herblore section of the Manual for more details.

As you enter the guild you will see Wizard Distentor, who is the head of the Guild. He is there to welcome you and to teleport you to the rune essence mine if you so wish.

Zavistic Rarve is the Grand Secretary of the Guild and is able to tell you what you can do while you are here.

To access the rune shop you will need to speak to the rune shop owner; he has a plentiful supply of runes and a selection of staves.

The second floor consists of three magic portals as well as a vial respawn on the table.

The portals lead to:

The east portal teleports you to the Wizards' Tower, south of Draynor Village.
The south portal teleports you to the Dark Wizards' Tower, north of the Crafting Guild.
The west portal teleports you to Thormac the Sorceror's house, just west of Catherby.

Don't forget to visit Wizard Frumscone in the dungeon area of the Guild. Here you will find level 24 zombies in a cage, which you can practice your Magic on. If you wish to collect their drops, don't forget to bring runes to cast telekinetic grab.

Summoning Familiars

Using the Summoning skill, you'll find that there are a few familiars that might be useful for training your Magic. Of particular note is the wolpertinger, whose special move boosts your Magic level.

Enchanted Crossbow Bolts

Enchant bolt interface

If you have gem-tipped crossbow bolts you may like to try enchanting them. Each type of gem can have a different enchantment imbued into it which can unleash a special Ranged effect, so that certain bolts become far superior against certain foes.

In your spellbook you will discover the level 4 spell 'Enchant bolt'. This is a collection of spells that allows you to enchant whatever gem-tipped bolts you happen to have on you. As it is the gem that stores the enchantment, only gem-tipped bolts can be enchanted in this way.

As you can see, enchant bolt is not necessarily a level 4 spell, and you will need a higher Magic level in order to enchant the higher level bolts.

If you have the appropriate type of bolt equipped or in your inventory, as well as the requisite runes, you will be able to enchant your bolts. Each casting of the spell will enchant up to ten of the same type of bolt (it will only enchant fewer if you do not have ten equipped or in your inventory).

Training Hints and Tips

Try using your Magic alongside other skills. For example, high alching bows while Fletching, and enchanting jewellery during Crafting is fast and easy experience.
Save your coins and train your Runecrafting skill by crafting your own runes. Conversely, use an elemental staff for infinite runes of that staff type.
Wear the appropriate Magic gear for Magic bonus and to make spells more accurate.
