RuneScape magic is a good skill. There is combat of course, making bones into peaches which is useful if you have fought a battle and need some food, and teleporting.
To level up magic in RuneScape, you should understand that Runescape Magic is based off magical stones called RuneStones. It takes a certain combination of Runes to perform a certain spell. You can know what runes do what spell when you look in your Runescape Magic spell book. There are many different types of Runes. Some can sell for more RuneScape gold than others, such as Air Rune, Water Rune, Mist Rune, and Earth Rune.
These magical stones were crafted years ago by the ancestors of Runescape. They are infused with magical powers from the land. It takes a certain combination of Runes to do certain spells; there are combination in the normal Spell book.
Combination of Runes for Certain Spells:
Wind Strike - 1 Mind, 1 Air
Confuse - 1 Body, 2 Earth, 3 Fire
Water - Strike 1 Mind, 1 Air, 1 Water
Enchant Level-1 - 1 Cosmic, 1 Water
Earth - Strike 1 Mind, 1 Air, 2 Earth
……
There is just so much you can do with Magic, so if you thought Runescape Magic was just for combat, you were certainly mistaken. The only thing I dislike about this skill is the price of Runes are very high when you want to spend some RuneScape money on it. Therefore, if you are going to work in this skill, I suggest you become a Rune Crafter as well, so you do not have to pay too much RuneScape gold.
