The '''Void knight mace''' can be bought from a [[Void Knight]] for 250 commendation points, although a player must have 42 [[Attack]], [[Strength]], [[Defence]], [[Constitution]], [[Ranged]], and [[Magic]], along with 22 [[Prayer]]. This mace is unique because, even though it is a melee weapon, it offers good magic bonuses and can be used to cast the [[Claws of Guthix]] spell.

This weapon is slightly better than a [[rune mace]], with an additional +2 for Stab, Slash, and Crush Attack; +2 Stab, Slash, Crush, Magic and Ranged Defence; +2 Strength; +2 Prayer; and +8 Magic Attack. This makes it one of the only melee weapons in game to have a positive ranged defence bonus, other than the [[Red topaz machete]] and [[Lunar staff]], with +1, and the [[dragon spear]] and [[Zamorakian spear]], with +5 and +13, respectively. To cast Claws of Guthix, the player still must have cast the spell 100 times in the Wilderness [[Mage Arena]]. A [[Guthix cape]] is '''not''' required to cast Claws of Guthix if a Void knight mace is equipped, but still recommended for it allows the player to cast [[Charge]] which makes the spell more destructive.

[[File:Void knight mace spells.png|thumb|The previous auto-cast spell screen.]]

Since it could autocast Claws of Guthix, it was occasionally used on [[Dagannoth Rex]] by mages in the past.

It was once used to autocast spells, before the 2nd of September, 2009. The spells it used to [[autocast]] include [[Crumble Undead]], [[Claws of Guthix]], and [[Wind Wave|Wind]], [[Water Wave|Water]], [[Earth Wave|Earth]], and [[Fire Wave]].

As of the "[[Update:Changes to Autocasting Spells|Changes to Autocasting Spells]]" update in [[2 September|September]] [[2009]], the Void knight mace can inflict 10% more [[magic damage]], increasing the max hit of Claws of Guthix to 220, or 330 with [[Charge]]. With this update the mace is now, in even more ways, stronger than a [[Guthix staff]], not only granting the 10% extra magic damage but also mediocre melee bonuses and an ample +6 Prayer bonus, making it a good weapon against monsters weak to magic. It is especially useful against those monsters that require a prayer defence against, notably [[Mithril dragon]]s.

== Combat styles ==
The Void knight mace has combat styles like a magical staff rather than like other maces.
{{CombatStyles Magical Staff}}

==Trivia==
*Even though the Void Knight mace has a fair stab attack bonus, it does not have a stab attack (due to the staff-like layout of the attack style tab),
*The Void Knight mace bears a vague resemblance to the [[Iban staff]]. The difference between these two weapons is the spells used to be casted, and that the staff is longer and wooden, and the mace is short and metallic.
*Wielding the Void Mace with an aura causes an outline of a staff to glow, instead of a mace. This has not been fixed yet.
