Surge is a basic magic ability. When activated the player teleports 10 squares ahead in a straight line.

Surge shares its cooldown timer with Escape and Barge. When one ability is used, all three need to recharge before any of them can be used.

Glitches

When used at the outside corner of most walls/doors, Surge can take the player through said wall, or even through the whole building (e.g. All outside corners of the Varrock West bank, the South West corner of the Edgeville bank, etc.)
The above glitch is also activated when various structures are hit or approached on a 45 degree angle. These "weak spots" are highly random, but notably locations include:
- The spike barriers outside the Saradomin base in Castle Wars
- The farm shop north of Ardounge: Any portion of the front wall (with the large window) on a North east approach will land you behind the shop counter
- The southeast corner of the private tent in the clan camp
- Melzar's maze, when hitting just to the right of the door, will land you behind the maze.
When clicking on the minimap or trying to reach a destination, then click surge, you move forward 10 spaces but than you walk/run back to the spot where you clicked, so it is not advised to use while running from someone. However, if you wait until your character stops, and then use surge, then the ability can be a useful escape tool.
