A detailed image of a magic skullball.

A Magic skullball is an item that can be bought from Faruq's Tools for Games in Al-Kharid for 12 coins. This item begins as just a "Magic Skullball," but with the "Choose-Answers" option, you can choose one out of four options to give the magic skullball. There is an option for Yes or No answers, longer answers such as "I don't know" or "Yes, I'd say so.", activities, and colours. The choosing of these answers are completely random, and the type of answer you would like is always open to change.

With the disabling of the Dice bag in Runescape on 15 November 2011, players started using the skullball to gamble. As a response, the next day the option to send the readings from skullballs to a friends chat was disabled, and can now only be shown to the player with the skullball in their inventory.

Trivia

• The quote, "Nothing interesting would happen." is possibly a reference to the statement "Nothing interesting happens." which happens when you use an item on another item it has no use with.
• The Magic skullball is based off the Magic 8-Ball.
• The Magic skullball's inventory icon is very similar the Shade skull's icon.
