The '''Mages' book''' is a book held in place of a [[shield]] that is a reward from the ''[[Mage Training Arena]]'' minigame, and was also a rare potential drop from [[PvP worlds]] or [[Bounty worlds]] until its removal from the PvP drop table on [[16 June]] [[2009]]. The mages' book requires 60 [[Magic]] to wield and is held in the [[shield]] slot.<br />
<br />
A mages' book can be obtained from the [[Rewards Guardian]] in exchange for 500 telekinetic, 550 alchemist, 6,000 enchantment, and 500 graveyard [[pizazz points]]. It is currently the most expensive reward available from the [[Rewards Guardian]]. Though a very slow process, the cost of the runes needed for the required pizazz points (While using corresponding staves at the minimal level to cast '''all '''Mage Arena spells) will earn you a very large profit. (This profit used to be around 2,757,721 coins. Note: These calculations are valid if you currently have no pizazz points in any of the Mage Training areas and if using Onyx enchantments in the Enchanting Chamber.)<br />

== Compared to others ==<br />
Until the release of [[spirit shield]]s, the mages' book provided the highest [[Magic]] attack and [[Defence]] bonus of any item worn in the shield slot. These statistics can now be claimed by the [[Arcane spirit shield]] and [[Spectral spirit shield]]. The mages' book has the fourth-highest Magic attack bonus for any piece of equipment in the shield slot, the highest being the [[Arcane spirit shield]], the second highest being the [[Farseer kiteshield]], and the third highest being the [[Ward of subjugation]]. It has the fourth-highest Magic defence for a [[shield]], the highest being the [[Spectral spirit shield]] and [[Sacred clay shield (magic)]] (tied) and the second highest being the [[Eagle-eye kiteshield]].<br />
