Spells

Dragonwilds spells are gated behind individual skills, not just Magic, and the utility ones change how you play.

Spells

Gated by: Any skill, not only Magic
Cost: Runes, per cast

The single most RuneScape thing about Dragonwilds is that spells are unlocked by whichever skill they belong to, so your Fishing level gates a fishing spell and your Farming level gates a farming one. Each cast burns runes.

Spell	Requires	Runes	Does
Windstep	8 Agility	5 Air	Better jumps and controlled descent
Surge	11 Magic	10 Astral, 10 Law	Longer dodge
Tempest Shield	11 Attack	15 Air	Prevents damage while blocking
Snare	12 Ranged	15 Astral, 10 Nature	Roots a target
Uproot	15 Farming	10 Earth, 10 Astral	Harvests crops in a radius
Superheat	20 Artisan	5 Air, 15 Fire	Speeds up processing stations
Confuse	30 Magic	25 Astral	Confuses a target
Infernal Rod	30 Fishing	50 Fire	Cooks fish as you catch them
Runes To Rune Essence	61 Runecrafting	5 Water, 5 Astral	Converts runes back into essence
Divine Rock	80 Mining	100 Earth, 100 Nature	Places a personal mining vein
Vengeance	80 Magic	10 Earth, 20 Astral	Reflects damage back at the attacker

1.0 added Enchant Weapon: Water, Enfeeble, Vengeance and Home Teleport, the last of which sends you back to your bed on a 900 second cooldown.

Read that table as a to-do list rather than a reference. Superheat at 20 Artisan and Infernal Rod at 30 Fishing are both cheap to reach and both delete a chore permanently, which makes them better early targets than anything in the combat tree.
