Standard spellbook

The standard spellbook.

The standard spellbook are a group of Magic spells available to all players, being unlocked by default upon character creation. Standard spells make use of all runes except Astral. Staves are also required to cast some of the spells, including Iban's staff, slayer's staff or staff of the dead, Saradomin staff or staff of light, Zamorak staff, and Guthix staff or void knight mace.

Magic spells are divided into three distinct types: Combat, Utility, and Teleport spells.

You can change back into the standard spellbook at any location where you can change into a different spellbook, and then simply change back again, or at an Occult altar in a POH.

Combat spells

Offensive spells

Offensive spells such as Water Strike and Fire Blast are simple: They deal damage to one target, with the amount of damage varying according to the spell's maximum hit and other modifiers. The accuracy of these spells is determined by a number of factors, none of which are the spell itself; all other things being equal. There are four main elements for combat spells in the standard spellbook: wind (air), water, earth, and fire. Additionally, there are five increasingly strong groups of spells: strike spells, bolt spells, blast spells, wave spells, and surge spells. Among these groups, wind spells are always the weakest, and fire spells are always the strongest. The elements themselves do not seem to affect much except in a few circumstances; for example, water spells are twice as effective on lava beasts.

In addition to the elemental spells, there are a number of unique combat spells with different properties. Iban Blast requires that Iban's staff be equipped to use it, and casts of Iban Blast drain charges on the staff until it must eventually be recharged; however, it hits extremely hard for the level required to use it. Magic Dart uses no elemental runes, instead using only death runes and mind runes, and has a maximum hit determined by the caster's Magic level. Each of the god spells has a secondary effect upon a successful hit.

Compared to melee and Ranged, some lower-levelled offensive spells have exceptionally high maximum hits for the levels required to cast them. For example, Fire Strike can hit up to 8 damage at a mere level 13 Magic, which is not possible (assuming reasonably consistent skill levels) with either melee or Ranged.

Curse spells

Curse spells are combat spells that are primarily used to temporarily lower the target's stats or prevent movement. As Magic is meant to be strong against melee users, the various curse spells lower Attack, Strength, and Defence by either 5% or 10%. Additionally, Tele Block may be classified as a curse spell, although it prevents teleportation rather than lowering a stat.

Curse spells do not stack with themselves or similar curses; for example, it is not possible to frequently cast Stun on a target to drain its Attack further than 10%, nor is it possible to cast Confuse afterward for an additional 5% drain.

	Confuse	3	2 3 1	13	0	Reduces the target's Attack by 5%.

	Entangle	79	5 5 4	89	1	Prevents the target from moving for 14.4 seconds.
	Stun	80	12 12 1	90	1	Reduces the target's Attack by 10%.
	Tele Block	85	1 1 1	80	0	Prevents the target from teleporting for five minutes (half if they are using Protect from Magic).

Support spells

Support spells offer a range of benefits to the caster, such as increasing damage, curing poison, and healing other players. However, the standard spellbook only offers one support spell, which increases damage for god spells.

Teleport spells

The standard spellbook contains a number of teleport spells, which instantly transport the caster to a certain destination. These spells are popular as they offer a considerably faster method of transportation than walking everywhere, and several of them, such as Varrock Teleport, lead to popular areas of the map. Free players may access all teleport spells up to and including Falador Teleport. All teleport spells use law runes in addition to other runes.

The standard spellbook is also the only spellbook to feature teleother spells (although the Lunar spellbook has 'Tele Group' spells). When cast on another player, these spells will teleport that player to a certain destination. However, the targeted player must have Accept Aid on, and will be asked whether they wish to accept the teleportation. All teleother spells use soul runes in addition to law runes.

Trivia

• Within the game cache, there are three unused spell icons that can be found ( ). These were scrapped summoning spells from RuneScape Classic that utilised life runes, which were also scrapped.

• There is also one unused mobile spell icon within the game cache, which is the icon for Restraint, a level 89 spell costing 5 Wrath, 10 Fire and 10 Earth runes per cast, capable of hitting up to 8 damage and being able to freeze a single opponent for 20 seconds. This spell was offered in the Revenant Cave Rewards: Revisited & Content Changes Poll, but failed by 3.3% votes.
