Magic

Magic is a combat skill in Runic Ages. It increases the amount of damage the player can inflict using magic weapons by 2.5 points per each Magic level and what types of magic weapons a player may wield.

A high Magic level means that players can wield better weapons and deal slightly more damage with magic weapons.

Gaining experience

Players may receive Magic experience during combat by pressing the R key and using the arrow keys to switch to the Magic experience split menu. All mobs give at least 25 Magic experience but specific mobs may give more or less.

Depending on how the player configures the XP split menu, XP received for Magic may also be divided to give XP for the Defense skills.

Equipment

A player's Magic skill determines what type of magic weapons they can wield. Higher-level weapons provide greater offensive stats than similar weapon types of a lower level, creating an incentive to keep the skill trained.

Defense also determines what Magic armor a player can equip and in some cases, Magic is also taken into consideration for armor requirements.

Temporary boosts

Magic potions may be used to boost the Magic skill, providing a level increase of 1 + 8% of the skill.
