The '''trident of the seas (e)''' is a one-handed [[powered staff]] that requires 75 [[Magic]] to wield. It is an enhanced version of the regular [[trident of the seas]] obtained by giving [[Lieve McCracken]] 10 [[kraken tentacle]]s and an uncharged trident, costing {{NoCoins|{{GEP|Kraken tentacle|10}}|c}}. It holds 20,000 charges, rather than the 2,500 charges of the unenhanced version.

If a player [[Death|dies]] with the trident, only the uncharged trident will appear on the floor (if it's not [[Items Kept on Death|protected on death]]).

==Charging==
[[File:Charging_trident.gif|frame|A player charging the trident of the seas.]]
In order to use the trident's magic spell, it must be charged with various [[runes]], holding up to 20,000 charges when fully charged. One charge is consumed each time you cast the built-in spell. Charging the trident requires level 75 Magic, and the following items are required for a single charge:

{| class="wikitable align-right-2"
!Resource 
!Cost per charge
|-
|1 x {{plink|Death rune}}
|{{Coins|{{GEP|Death rune}}}}
|-
|1 x {{plink|Chaos rune}}
|{{Coins|{{GEP|Chaos rune}}}}
|-
|5 x {{plink|Fire rune}}
|{{Coins|{{GEP|Fire rune|5}}}}
|-
|10 x {{plink|Coins}}
|{{Coins|10}}
|-
! '''Total cost per charge'''
| style="text-align:right;" | {{Coins|{{GEP|Death rune}}+{{GEP|Chaos rune}}+{{GEP|Fire rune|5}}+10}}
|}

To charge the trident, use the runes or coins on the trident. Assuming non-stop use (one cast every 2.4 seconds, 1,500 casts per hour), the trident costs {{NoCoins|({{GEP|Death rune}}+{{GEP|Chaos rune}}+{{GEP|Fire rune|5}}+10) * 1500|c}} per hour to use.

Fully charging an uncharged staff costs {{NoCoins|{{GEP|Death rune|20000}}+{{GEP|Chaos rune|20000}}+{{GEP|Fire rune|100000}}+200000|c}} total: 20,000 death runes, 20,000 chaos runes, 100,000 fire runes, and 200,000 coins.

Any remaining charges within the trident can be removed at anytime using the 'uncharge' option to recover the [[runes]]; however, the coins will '''not''' be refunded.

Rune substitutes, such as elemental staves, the [[Fountain of Rune]], combination runes, or runes in a [[rune pouch]], '''cannot''' be used to charge the trident, and yield a special message "You need one death rune, one chaos rune, five fire runes, and ten coins. Rune substitutes and pouches cannot be used".

==Upgrading==
Players with level 59 [[Crafting]] can attach a [[magic fang]] to the trident using a [[chisel]], creating a [[trident of the swamp (e)]]. This enhances its magic attack bonus, and has the ability to infect a target with [[venom]]. However, to take advantage of those benefits requires using [[Zulrah's scales]] instead of coins for each charge.

==Maximum hit==
The [[Maximum Magic hit|maximum hit]] dealt by the trident is dependent on the player's current [[Magic]] level, starting at 20 with level 75 Magic and increasing by one every three Magic levels, up to a maximum of 36 at level 123+ (obtainable only through [[smelling salts]] in [[Tombs of Amascut]]). Both magic damage bonuses and visible stat boosts will modify the max hit of the spell; likewise, stat-reductions will lower the damage. Invisible boosts, such as from the trident's attack styles, do not affect the max hit. The trident always has a max hit of at least 1, even when reduced to 0 magic. Compared to the other two powered staves, the [[Trident of the swamp]] increases the base maximum hit by 3 (max of 23 at level 75), and the [[Sanguinesti staff]] increases the base maximum hit by 4 (max of 24 at level 75).
