Damage per second/Magic

Maximum damage per second

The maximum damage per second (also called max DPS) is a magic attack's maximum hit, divided by 2 (for the average hit), and divided by the autocast speed in seconds. The autocast speed of spells is 3 seconds (or 5 ticks), except for powered staves (but not Tumeken's shadow) and the harmonised nightmare staff having an autocast speed of 2.4 seconds (or 4 ticks). These tables do not include accuracy. To factory in accuracy, multiply the DPS by the hit chance of a given monster (which is explained in the section "Calculating your magic damage output"). All values are rounded to the nearest tenth.

Spellbook-Based

The following tables show the maximum DPS possible for all magic attacks that are based on spellbook combat spells except for Magic dart. Since Magic dart's damage is based on the player's Magic level, it'll be shown under the section titled "Magic Level-Based". These tables do not include accuracy.

^ With the exception of Flames of Zamorak, the staff of the dead can be substituted with any other +15% magic damage weapon, such as the staff of light, staff of balance, toxic staff of the dead, kodai wand, and any version of the nightmare staff.
^ ^2.0 ^2.1 ^2.2 The castle wars bracelet only needs to be worn when the game starts. Players should switch to the tormented bracelet after the match begins, as they will retain the castle wars bracelet's effect. Additionally, the cape and headwear slot are occupied by the castle wars cape and castle wars hood during games; these must remain on at all times.
^ ^3.0 ^3.1 ^3.2 The Revenant Caves is located in level 17 to 40 Wilderness. Players become and remain skulled when equipping and wearing the Amulet of avarice; losing all items and inventory when killed. After unequipping the amulet, the skull remains and behaves like a normal PK skull; disappearing after twenty minutes. Gaining Forinthry Surge requires killing the Revenant maledictus as a top-damaging player. Afterwards, the Forinthry Surge status will last for 30 minutes. Without the +15% magic damage from Forinthry Surge, the player's damage is equivalent to wearing a Salve amulet(ei).
^ ^4.0 ^4.1 The staff of the dead can be substituted with any other +15% magic damage weapon, such as the staff of light, staff of balance, toxic staff of the dead, kodai wand, and any version of the nightmare staff.
^ ^5.0 ^5.1 ^5.2 ^5.3 ^5.4 ^5.5 ^5.6 ^5.7 The castle wars bracelet bonus only applies to the flag bearer. Since only one opponent can carry the flag at a time, this bonus only applies to one of the nine targets.

Calculating your magic damage output

Step one: Calculate the maximum hit

Maximum hit is affected only by damage boosting equipment and the base max hit of the spell used^[1].

See maximum magic hit for the information on calculating the maximum hit for a specific setup.

Step two: Calculate the effective level

Effective level is affected by your current level multiplied by prayers used and skill level boosts.

To calculate your effective level:

(Magic level + Magic level boost) * prayer bonus
Round down to nearest integer
Multiply by 1.45 if using Void Magic
+2 if using Accurate trident
+9
Round down to nearest integer

Note that temporarily increasing your Magic level only increases your accuracy, but not max hit, with the exception of Magic Dart, salamanders, trident of the seas/swamp and sanguinesti staff.

Prayer Multiplier:

Prayer
Mystic Will	1.05
Mystic Lore	1.10
Mystic Might	1.15
Augury	1.25

Step three: Calculate the equipment bonus

Equipment bonus is equal to the Magic Attack stat in the Equipment stats window. Wearing magic gear will increase your equipment bonus.

See here for a full list of all stat-boosting gear, or here for a list magic armour.

Add up the Magic Attack of each piece of equipment worn to find your equipment bonus.

Step four: Calculate the accuracy roll

To calculate your accuracy roll:

Effective level * (Equipment bonus + 64)
Multiply by 1.15 if wearing a slayer helm on task or killing undead monsters with an imbued salve amulet.
Round down to nearest integer

Step five: Calculate the hit chance

${\text{Defence Roll}}=(9+{\text{NPC magic level}})*({\text{NPC magic defence}}+64)$

If Accuracy Roll > Defence roll:

${\text{Hit Chance}}=1-{\frac {{\text{Def roll}}+2}{2*({\text{Acc roll}}+1)}}$

Else

${\text{Hit Chance}}={\frac {\text{Acc roll}}{2*({\text{Def roll}}+1)}}$

Step six: Calculate the magic damage output

${\text{Damage per hit}}={\text{Hit Chance}}*{\Biggl (}{\frac {\text{Maximum hit}}{2}}+{\frac {1}{{\text{Maximum hit}}+1}}{\Biggr )}$

To calculate the Damage Per Second, divide the Damage Per hit by the attack speed of the spell in seconds.

Spells from the Standard and Ancient spellbook have attack speed of 3 seconds, while tridents and staves that cast their own spells have an attack speed of 2.4

If bursting/barraging, multiply the DPS by the amount of targets getting hit (Note that maximum amount of targets for every AOE spell is 9).
