Dark wizards are Zamorakian mages that attack with low-level magic. They can be primarily found around the Varrock stone circle and in the Dark Wizards' Tower, and are notable for frequently dropping runes, as well as black robes and wizard hats. They are also notable for being a considerable threat to very low level players due to their relatively high max hit for their combat level and position next to the southern entrance of Varrock.

They play a small role in the Demon Slayer quest, performing a ritual to summon the demon Delrith.

• Shaman Caves (Possible encounter when smashing barrels)

Dark wizards will attack with a variety of magic attacks, varying depending on the level of the Dark Wizard being fought.

The Level 7 variant will attack with Water Strike, and Confuse spells, working effectively against warriors in metal armour.

The Level 20 variant will attack with Earth Strike and Weaken spells, again working well against warriors in metal armour.

A good way to deal with them is to attack using Ranged, wearing leather or dragonhide armour, since Ranged armours generally excel in Magic defence.
