The staff of light features a few [[passive effect|special properties]]. When a combat spell (including curse spells like [[Confuse]] or [[Entangle]]) is cast with the staff, there is a 12.5% (1/8) chance that the staff will negate the rune cost for that spell. This chance increases to 20% when wearing [[combat robes]], and 50% when wearing [[battle robes]]. Additionally, the staff of light can be used as a more accurate alternative to the [[slayer's staff]] for casting [[Slayer Dart]]. |

Before the Evolution of Combat
The Staff of Light was one of the most used staves before the Evolution of Combat, particularly before the introduction of the polypore staff. Besides its strong Magic accuracy, it also had decent melee stats roughly equivalent to a dragon weapon (it required 75 Attack along with 75 Magic to wield), and had a special attack that would halve all melee damage taken for one minute, draining 100% of the bar. When using the special attack in conjunction with Protect from Melee or Deflect Melee, 90% of incoming melee damage could be negated.
The staff was the one primarily used with the Ancient Magicks. Its rune-saving effect was especially useful before the EoC, when spells such as Blood Barrage would cost over 2,000 coins a cast.
