Water Wave is a water-based wave spell in the standard spellbook, requiring level 65 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 water spell in the game, with the strongest being Water Surge.

Damage

Water Wave's base maximum hit starts at 18 and increases as the player unlocks additional wave spells, up to 20 at level 75 Magic.

Magic level	Highest-level wave spell available	Water Wave base maximum hit
65 - 69	Water Wave	18
70 - 74	Earth Wave	19
75 +	Fire Wave	20

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

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