Earth Wave is an earth-based wave spell in the standard spellbook, requiring level 70 Magic to cast. As an offensive combat spell it can only be cast on attackable NPCs, or other players in a PvP situation.

It is the second-strongest earth spell in the game, with the strongest being Earth Surge.

Damage

Earth Wave's base maximum hit starts at 19 and increases to 20 once the player unlocks Fire Wave at level 75 Magic.

Magic level	Highest-level wave spell available	Earth Wave base maximum hit
70 - 74	Earth Wave	19
75 +	Fire Wave	20

As with all combat spells, Earth Wave's maximum hit is also increased based on the player's magic damage bonus.

As an earth-based spell, Earth Wave's maximum hit is also increased against targets that are weak to earth.
