The Staff of light gives a 15% boost to magic damage.

There are various methods by which players can increase their potential maximum magic damage. The effects of most equipped items can be seen at the bottom of the stats window (labelled Magic Damage: +x%), however not all boosting items are shown there. Temporarily increasing your magic level also increases your max hit (by 3% per level boosted), this boost isn't shown in the stats window either.

Currently it is not fully understood how the bonus damage is calculated. While the conventional method is to simply increase a spell's maximum hit by the total damage modifier, this has been shown on numerous occasions to be inaccurate. Players who wish to contribute information or constructive ideas are encouraged to do so on this article's discussion page.

  • It is important to note that items with a magic attack bonus such as the Third age mage hat don't boost your max hit, just your accuracy. Similarly, items with a magic defence bonus, such as the black d'hide body don't affect the maximum damage you will take from spells, just your opponent's accuracy. The only exception to this is when the hit is greater than 200 and the Magic Absorption is added into calculations.
  • A full set of void knight armour won't raise your max hit, only your accuracy.

How to Achieve the Free-to-Play Maximum Magic Hit

The max hit on Free-to-Play is 250.
Requirements:

Items Needed: 

*Does not increase Magic damage, however, is used for highest Magic attack

Special Circumstances

  • Charge is a spell which temporarily increases the maximum damage of the three God spells by 100 (providing the player is wearing the corresponding god cape). The spell requires a magic level of 80.
  • Salarin the Twisted (who is susceptible only to strike spells), can be hit 90 lifepoints by wind strike, 100 by water strike, 110 by earth strike, and 120 by fire strike. These max hits cannot be boosted with items or potions.
  • Ice strykewyrms can be hit 1.5 times higher by players using fire spells, and 2 times higher plus an extra 40 damage (added after all multipliers, similar to a ferocious ring) by players wearing a Fire cape and casting fire spells (other spell types get an extra 40 damage with a fire cape, except ice spells which heal the strykewyrm).

N.B. the way in which some boosts are stacked has not yet been confirmed; your result may be slightly inaccurate. Please use the talk page if you have any evidence you'd like to contribute.

If you're using a Magic Blastbox or Celestial surgebox, increase your max hit by 25% and that'll be your actual max hit. But these only give additional damage every fifth hit

Maximum Magic Hit

Currently the highest magic hit in the game, known to be at least 1146, can be achieved by casting Fire surge on an Ice strykewyrm with the chaotic staff, Arcane stream necklace, Hexcrest, and Fire cape equipped, after drinking Extreme magic potion. The maximum total theoretical damage from one spell is 4,995, achieved by hitting nine targets with Miasmic Barrage for 555 life points each. A more probable instance in multi-way combat is to hit at least five (or more) players with Ice Barrage for 300 (or more with a castlewars brace and Arcane stream necklace) resulting in a staggering 1,500damage.

Dungeoneering

It is worth noting that within Daemonheim, the magic potions increase in the same increments that melee potions do in both Gielinor in Daemonheim. That is, they increase magic far more in the former than the latter. Unlike in Gielinor, however, each boosted magic level in Daemonheim only gives an additional 1% damage bonus. Therefore, the calculator above only pertains to activities outside of Daemonheim, as this is a non-Daemonheim related article.

On f2p, with the Catalyic staff and Fire Blast requiring 59 Magic, the max hit is 184 because Fire Blast's max hit without any boosts is 160, plus the staff increases the damage by 15%. Some f2p players don't use the Catalyic staff because Fire Staff gives infinite Fire runes and they don't want to use up too much time runecrafting. Some people don't use the Catalyic staff because they don't even have 14 Runecrafting to craft Fire runes.
