Update history

This information has been compiled as part of the update history project. Some updates may not be included – see here for how to help out!

• update 20 November 2012 (Update):
  • Elemental spells no longer require mind, chaos, death, or blood runes.

• update 24 June 2010 (Update):
  • We’ve changed the animations for all of the Strike, Bolt, Blast, Wave and Surge spells (for all four elements). These spells now use some of the game engine's newer features such as particles, and have updated sound effects to accompany them.

• update 9 June 2009 (Update):
  • Other small changes concern the Strongholds of Security and of Player Safety, where only those in need of information will be quizzed, and the magic spell icons, which have had a graphical update.

• update 24 May 2001 (Update):
  • Added to game.

Trivia

• It is possible to reduce the cost of Water Strike to zero with the avernic wand, which can be wielded together with the tome of frost, but this is not recommended due to capping the spell's damage to a lower equipment tier.
• Previously, it was one of the few attack methods that can damage Salarin the Twisted. When used against him, the spell will either "miss" or deal 100 damage.
