Water Strike is a water-based strike spell in the standard spellbook, available starting at level 5 Magic. As an offensive combat spell it can only be cast on attackable NPCs, or other players in a PvP situation.

Damage

Water Strike's base maximum hit starts at 4 and increases as the player unlocks additional strike spells, up to 8 at level 13 Magic.

Magic level	Highest-level strike spell available	Water Strike base maximum hit
5 - 8	Water Strike	4
9 - 12	Earth Strike	6
13 +	Fire Strike	8

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

As a water-based spell, Water Strike's maximum hit is also increased against targets that are weak to water.
