Magic tablet

Magic tablets are magic spells that are sealed into clay. This allows the spell to be used later or to sell them. Clicking on the magic tablet in the inventory activates the spell. These are not the same as Runecrafting Teleport Tablets obtained from The Great Orb Project, as these tablets can only be made in POH (Player Owned Houses)

Making magic tablets
Magic tablets are created from soft clay and runes using a lectern in a player-owned house. A player brings the runes for the spell they wish to make, a magic staff (optional) and the soft clay to the appropriate lectern. The lectern can be in the house of another player. By clicking on the lectern a screen will appear showing the magic tablets that can be constructed at that lectern. After selecting a spell, the clay changes into a stackable magic tablet and the magic tablet selection window disappears.

Magic tablet building requires that the player has the appropriate magic level and brings the required runes for casting the spell. You do not have to have the standard spellbook on to make the tablets. After completion of the quest Love Story you can use a chisel on the tablets to change their destination to any of the player-owned house portals.

Regardless of the tablet being made, the "Camelot Teleport" tablet is shown during creation. A "C" is visible, especially in screenshots.

If you are in a Player Owned House (POH) while making tabs and the owner of the house expels guests or you leave the using the leave house button, the tabs will continue to be made, and the animation will continue, unless you move.

When lecterns were first introduced, the player was required to click repeatedly on the lectern to make each tablet, but an update changed the procedure so there is now a "make-all" option, which made the entire process much more convenient for the user.

Experience


The Magic experience is assigned during the creation of the tablets and the amount is equal to the normal casting of the spell, with the exception of enchant spells (e.g. enchant ruby) which gives 75% of the normal experience. No Magic experience is gained by activating the tablet.

The tablet made in the animation is an Enchant Sapphire tablet.

Usage information
All magic tablets are tradeable. This provides players with a method to gain the benefit of a spell before reaching the required Magic level to cast it (except for the Ardougne, Watchtower, Trollheim and Ape Atoll teleports, which require quests before using. Magic tablets also are useful in situations where inventory space is critical and/or where the inventory based activation is useful. Players on a different spellbook (Lunar magic or Ancient Magicks), may find it useful to have access to a subset of spells from the normal spellbook. You do not have to be on the standard spellbook to make the tablets. Players who don't want experience in magic, might also find the tablets useful.

Caution: If an opponent attacks you during a Magic Tablet's teleport animation, then the hit-splats will appear once you reach the corresponding location. This means that if you use a magic tablet to teleport away from a combat situation, you could die immediately upon relocation. Therefore, magic tablets are a risky means of escape in a High Risk Wilderness World server or another area where retrieval of your belongings is impossible.

Magic tablet overview


The table below lists all the possible magic tablets. The columns in the table represent the different type of lectern that is required to make a magic tablet. With the exception of two common to both, different lecterns make different tablets. Varrock teleport and Enchant level 1 jewellery (for Sapphire Jewellery) are the two common tablets available on both lectern types, with the Eagle lectern accommodates all the other personal teleports on the Normal spellbook, while the Demon Lectern accommodates all the other jewellery Enchantment spells and both bones to food spells (Bones to bananas and Bones to peaches)

* Created by using chisel on a Teleport to House after completion of the Love Story quest.

The image on the tab has not yet had a graphical update like the rest of the spell icons. The Falador Tele tab has been updated to avoid confusion and make it easier to identify.

NOTE: Due to the diversity of spells found on different types of lecterns, two different lectern types will be needed to make every type of magic tablet. Players can use different wall decorations in each study to help them remember which lectern they have in each.

Glitch


There was a glitch that occurred when a player broke a magic tablet while sitting on a chair in a POH. The teleport animation would occur in the background, but the player remained sitting. This has since been fixed. Attempting to break a tablet while sitting now causes the player to stand, and the message, "You cannot teleport while sitting there." is displayed in the chat window.
