The trident of the swamp (e) is a powered staff that requires 78 Magic to wield. It is an enhanced version of the regular trident of the swamp obtained by giving Lieve McCracken 10 kraken tentacles, costing 3,471,290 coins. It holds 20,000 charges, rather than the 2,500 charges of the unenhanced version.

To fully charge an enhanced toxic trident, it would cost 8,940,000 coins. Requiring one death rune, one chaos rune, 5 fire runes, and a Zulrah scale per charge.

If lost on death, any scales that were used to charge the trident will appear on the floor along with the uncharged trident.

Charging

In order to use the trident's magic spell, it must be charged with various runes, holding up to 2,500 charges when fully charged. One charge is consumed each time you cast the built-in spell. Charging the trident requires level 78 Magic, and the following items are required for a single charge:

Resource	Cost per charge
1 x Death rune	167
1 x Chaos rune	82
5 x Fire rune	30
1 x Zulrah's scales	168
Total cost per charge	447

To charge the trident, use the runes or scales on the trident. With a maximum of 2500 charges, fully charging a trident costs 1,117,500 coins. Assuming non-stop use (one cast every 2.4 seconds, 1,500 casts per hour), the trident costs 670,500 coins per hour to use.

Any remaining charges within the trident can be removed at any time to recover the runes and Zulrah's scales.

If lost on death, any scales that were used to charge the trident will appear on the floor along with the uncharged trident.

Maximum hit

The maximum hit dealt by the trident is dependent on the player's current Magic level, starting at 24 with level 78 Magic and increasing by one every three Magic levels, up to a maximum of 39 at level 123 (obtainable only through smelling salts in Tombs of Amascut). Both magic damage bonuses and stat boosts will modify the max hit of the spell; likewise, stat-reductions will lower the damage. The trident always has a max hit of at least 4, even when reduced to 0 magic. Compared to the other two powered staves, the Trident of the seas has a lower base maximum hit by 3 (max of 20 at level 75), and the Sanguinesti staff increases the base maximum hit by 1 (max of 26 at level 82).
