For this item's main hand variant, see Ahrim's wand.
For this item's augmented variant, see augmented ahrim's book of magic.
Ahrim's book of magic is a book wielded in the off-hand slot that requires level 70 magic to be wielded.
Currently, the book is the sixth best off-hand magic weapon, behind the Imperium core, Seismic singularity, Seasinger makigai, Virtus book, and Abyssal orb.
A player is able to cast spells twice as fast with a wand as with a staff, which is two-handed.
This item can be rarely obtained by looting the chest in the Barrows minigame.

Trivia
- Ahrim's book of magic and Karil's off-hand pistol crossbow are the only pieces of Barrows equipment that are worn in the off-hand (shield) slot.
- A dual wielding update for Magic made players able to cast two spells at a time, with the damage output being similar to dual wielding melee weapons. This made the wands and books have the amount of accuracy a weapon of their level has, meaning Ahrim's book of magic now has 1486 rather than 374 accuracy and vice versa with the wand.
- Ahrim's book of magic was unusual in that, for a while, it was more expensive than its main hand counterpart. This may be explained by the Wand of Treachery providing the same bonuses as Ahrim's wand, for a smaller price, but having no off-hand counterpart itself.
- After Invention Batch 2, players can now use a whetstone to repair any Barrows equipment.
