Earth Strike is an earth-based strike spell in the standard spellbook, requiring level 9 Magic to cast. As an offensive combat spell it can only be cast on attackable NPCs, or other players in a PvP situation.

Damage

Earth Strike starts out with a base maximum hit of 6. Once the player has the Magic level required to cast Fire Strike, Earth Strike's base maximum hit is increased to match.

Magic level	Highest-level strike spell available	Earth Strike base maximum hit
9 - 12	Earth Strike	6
13 +	Fire Strike	8

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

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