Runes

Runes are small stones that allow magic users to spells. Some of these spells can be used for combat while others can be used to benefit the player casting them.

Runes can either be bought from the various Rune shops found across RuneScape, created from rune essence through the runecrafting skill, procured from drops by killing monsters, or picked up from respawns on the ground.
