The '''Plank Make''' spell will convert one log that can normally be converted at the [[sawmill]] into a plank of the same type, but without running from the bank to sawmill. This still costs [[coins]] (as in, the spell will actually CHARGE you money based on the type of log you are converting) but it is 30% cheaper than the [[sawmill operator]]. However, this saving is often negated by the rune cost of the spell, which is {{formatnum:{{#expr: {{:Exchange:Astral rune|View=price}} * 2 + {{:Exchange:Nature rune|View=price}} }}}} coins based on [[Grand Exchange|GE]] prices for the [[Nature rune|nature]] and [[Astral rune|astral]] [[runes]] (assuming player uses a staff for the [[Earth runes]]). Plank Make is a good method to train [[magic]] and is faster experience than High Level Alchemy. The need to stay in a bank area may cause players who prefer to train other skills along with magic to be more inclined to use [[High Level Alchemy]]. As with all [[Lunar Magicks]] spells, the quest [[Lunar Diplomacy]] must be completed to cast this spell. As well as the completion of [[Lunar Diplomacy]], a player must have also finished [[Dream Mentor]] to cast this Spell. If one doesn't have 86 Magic and wishes to plank make, with the help of the Super Dominion Medallion since it provides a constant 6 level boost to Magic, Strength, Defence, Ranged and Attack, one could wear this and fight one boss, exit through the exit gates and claim their rewards. Therefore the player may access the bank at the end of the fight and plank make using this method. A player must have at least 80 Magic and must have reached 20 floors in endurance mode in the Dominion Tower.

==Trivia==
*Plank Make used to have a confirmation screen for each log, but this was removed. The removal of the confirmation screen speed up the cast speed from once per 4 [[RuneScape clock|game ticks]] to once per 3 game ticks.
*In September 2009, the cast speed was changed to 2 [[RuneScape clock|game ticks]] per cast but was later changed back to 3.
*A player casting Plank Make can successfully follow another player as long as some time between casts is given. It is possible to walk around short distances; again leaving some time in between casts. Large distances, however, cannot be covered.
*Casting Plank Make on Lunar Lumber in the [[Livid Farm]] uses a different animation which originally was a large ball of bright light. This was later changed to be not so intense and a dimmer red colour. This was announced in [[Update:Patch Notes (3 May 2011)|Patch Notes (3 May 2011)]].
*A player must cast Plank Make exactly 104,853 times to go from 86 - 99 Magic, and will make a profit of {{Coins|{{#expr: ({{GEPrice|Mahogany plank|n}} - {{:Exchange:Astral rune|View=price}} * 2 - {{:Exchange:Nature rune|View=price}} - {{GEPrice|Mahogany logs|n}} - 1050) * 104853}}}} in doing so, if making mahogany planks.
