[[File:Magic.png|width=70x70]]'''Magic''' is one of the eleven [[Dragonwilds:Skills]] in ''Runescape: Dragonwilds'' and was released in [[Update:Update 1 - 0.8.0|Update 0.8]].  Magic is one of the three combat styles players can use.  [[Dragonwilds:Combat]] spells can be cast to efficiently fight monsters from a distance, whereas utility spells have numerous uses.

==Equipment==
===Weapons===
[[Dragonwilds:Magic weapon|Magic Weapons]] currently consists only of staffs of which there are several varieties.  Staffs provide a passive rune damage multiplier to provide additional damage.  Staffs are a two-handed weapon; thus, players '''cannot''' equip [[Dragonwilds:Shields]] while wielding staffs.

===Armour===
Players can earn set bonuses when wearing armour of the same combat type (i.e., melee, ranged, magic) and can mix and match within that type. For example, a player wearing a [[Dragonwilds:Ranger Hat]] (ranged), [[Dragonwilds:Dragonkin Mage Robes]] (magic), and [[Dragonwilds:Necromancer's Robe Bottom]] (magic) will get the second tier of magic set bonuses and the first tier of ranged set bonuses. The magic armour set bonuses are:

* 1/3 -50% stamina regen delay
* 2/3 +17.5% magic attack speed
* 3/3 +15% magic crit chance

===Runes===
[[Dragonwilds:Runes]] are used when casting spells.  Currently, only [[Dragonwilds:Air Rune|Air Runes]] and [[Dragonwilds:Fire Rune|Fire Runes]] can be used for combat magic.  Players can select which [[Dragonwilds:Elemental Rune]] they want to autocast by going to the second tab of the inventory and right-clicking on the desired rune.

=== Consumables ===
[[Dragonwilds:Magical Focus]] is a craftable item unlocked at level 39 '''Magic''' where players can imbue their equipped [[Dragonwilds:Weapons#Battlestaves|staff]] with a 15% damage multiplier for 10 minutes.

==Utility spells==
{{Main|Spells}}
[[File:Interface - Spells Menu.png|thumb|right|The Spell Book menu.]]
Players unlock utility spells by levelling various [[Dragonwilds:Skills]], including but not limited to Magic. Some utility spells can assist with combat, while other spells are strictly used for skilling or gathering materials more quickly.

===Spellbook (menu)===
[[File:Interface - Quick Spells.png|thumb|200x200px|A Spellbook wheel.]]
Players can access the Spell Book menu by pressing the {{Key press|P}}-button (default).

The left half of the menu shows a list of available/unavailable utility spells. Unavailable spells are greyed out, meaning the player has not met the skill requirement to unlock the spell. Players can hover over the icon for a description of each spell.

The right half of the menu shows the spellbook players can customize with up to 12 utility spells they have unlocked. Players can drag-and-drop or point-and-click the desired utility spells to the spellbook. Players can also cycle between four different spellbooks for added customization.

===Spellbook (wheel)===
Players can access their customised Spellbooks by pressing the {{Key press|Q}}-button (default), which will open the wheel whilst still seeing the player's surroundings. Players can cycle between their four spellbook loadouts and point-and-click the desired utility spell, which will automatically exit the interface.

==Boosts==
Players can consume [[Dragonwilds:Potions]], eat [[Dragonwilds:Food]], or equip [[Dragonwilds:Trinkets]] to increase Attack experience or increase damage and, indirectly, the experience.

* [[Dragonwilds:Lesser Magic Potion]] - Increases the chance of landing critical hits with magic by 25% for 10 minutes (600 seconds)
* [[Dragonwilds:Sweet Veg Ball]] - Grants a 10% XP boost for 5 minutes (300 seconds)
* [[Dragonwilds:Wild Pie]] - Grants a 10% XP boost for 10 minutes (600 seconds)
* [[Dragonwilds:Inspiring Amulet of Magic]] - Provides a 5% XP boost to Magic while worn
* [[Dragonwilds:Amulet of Magic]] - Increases magic damage by 12.5% while worn
* [[Dragonwilds:Glazed Pumpkin Sandwich]] - provides 10% XP boost for 10 minutes (600 seconds)
