The '''trident of the swamp (e)''' is a one-handed [[powered staff]] that requires 78 [[Magic]] to wield. It is an enhanced version of the regular [[trident of the swamp]] obtained by giving [[Lieve McCracken]] 10 [[kraken tentacle]]s, costing {{NoCoins|{{GEP|Kraken tentacle|10}}|c}}. It holds 20,000 charges, rather than the 2,500 charges of the unenhanced version. 

To fully charge an enhanced trident, it would cost {{NoCoins|{{GEP|Zulrah's scales|20000}}+{{GEP|Death rune|20000}}+{{GEP|Chaos rune|20000}}+{{GEP|Fire rune|100000}}|c}}, requiring one death rune, one chaos rune, 5 fire runes, and a Zulrah scale per charge.

If lost on death, any scales that were used to charge the trident will appear on the floor along with the uncharged trident.

==Charging==
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 78 Magic, and the following items are required for a single charge:

|-
|1 x {{plink|Death rune}}
|{{Coins|{{GEP|Death rune}}}}
|-
|1 x {{plink|Chaos rune}}
|{{Coins|{{GEP|Chaos rune}}}}

|-
! '''Total cost per charge'''
| style="text-align:right;" | {{Coins|{{GEP|Death rune}}+{{GEP|Chaos rune}}+{{GEP|Fire rune|5}}+{{GEP|Zulrah's scales}}}}
|}

To charge the trident, use the runes or scales on the trident. With a maximum of 20,000 charges, fully charging a trident costs {{NoCoins|{{GEP|Zulrah's scales|20000}}+{{GEP|Death rune|20000}}+{{GEP|Chaos rune|20000}}+{{GEP|Fire rune|100000}}|c}}. 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}}+{{GEP|Zulrah's scales}}) * 1500|c}} per hour to use.

Any remaining charges within the trident can be removed at any time to recover the [[runes]] and [[Zulrah's scale]]s.

If lost on death, any scales that were used to charge the trident will appear on the floor along with the uncharged trident.

==Maximum hit==
The [[Maximum Magic hit|maximum hit]] dealt by the trident is dependent on the player's current [[Magic]] level, starting at 24 with level 78 Magic and increasing by one every three Magic levels, up to a maximum of 39 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 tridents's attack styles, do not affect the max hit. The trident always has a max hit of at least 4, even when reduced to 0 magic. Compared to the other two powered staves, the [[Trident of the seas]] has a lower base maximum hit by 3 (max of 20 at level 75), and the [[Sanguinesti staff]] increases the base maximum hit by 1 (max of 26 at level 82).
