RuneScape/Skills/Magic

Magic skills in RuneScape are used through various spells which can do many things. Some can strike enemies with energy blasts while others can convert one item into another.

Mages in runescape (according to the combat triangle) are good against warriors and weak against archers.

magic is by far the most expensive skill... but for PKing its sure expensive, but not expensive if you die unless you load up on a crazy amount of runes compared to a warrior.

Requirements

 * Runes. You can obtain runes by buying them or crafting them.
 * Staffs. Certain spells require certain staffs, such as Iban blast requires the Iban staff.
