1. What is Magic Damage in OSRS?

Magic Damage (MD) in Old School RuneScape determines how much damage your spells can deal. It's calculated based on your Magic level and Magic damage bonus from equipment.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the OSRS magic damage formula:

Where:

• \( MD \) — Magic Damage (dimensionless)
• \( M \) — Magic level (dimensionless, 1-99)
• \( B \) — Magic damage bonus (dimensionless from equipment)

Explanation: The formula shows that magic damage increases with both your magic level and your magic damage bonus from equipment.

3. Importance of Magic Damage Calculation

Details: Understanding your potential magic damage helps in planning combat strategies, choosing equipment, and maximizing damage output against various enemies.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current Magic level (1-99) and your total Magic damage bonus from equipment. All values must be valid (Magic level between 1-99, bonus ≥ 0).
