Claws of Guthix is a combat spell in the standard spellbook, requiring 60 Magic and the completion of Mage Arena I to cast. In addition, players must also be wielding a Guthix staff, void knight mace, or staff of balance; all but the first are able to autocast the spell.

Initially, the spell can only be cast within the Mage Arena against the battle mages. Upon casting the spell 100 times (regardless of whether it was a successful hit or not), the spell becomes usable outside the arena.

Claws of Guthix has a maximum hit of 20. Upon a successful hit, Claws of Guthix lowers the target's Defence by 1 + 5%. This decrease does not stack nor will it reapply itself until the opponent returns to their base Defence level.

Like the other god spells, the maximum hit is temporarily increased to 30 while the Charge spell is active and the respective god cape is worn.

Note that since Claws of Guthix requires a Guthix staff, void knight mace, or a staff of balance, rune-providing staves cannot be used. However, a tome of fire can be worn to provide infinite fire runes. This does not grant the damage boost from the tome and will not consume its charges.
