A mage's book is a book in the shield slot, requiring 60 Magic to wield. It is tied with the ancient wyvern shield for the third-best Magic attack bonus in the shield slot, behind the arcane spirit shield and the Elidinis' ward (f), but it has no Melee or Ranged defensive bonuses. The mage's book is popular among combat pures because there is no required Defence level. It gives a Magic damage bonus of 2%.

It can be obtained by playing the Mage Training Arena minigame for:

Amount	Task
500	Telekinetic pizazz points
550	Alchemist pizazz points
6,000	Enchantment pizazz points
500	Graveyard pizazz points

It is the most expensive reward available from the Mage Training Arena minigame. It takes 5.3 hours on average to acquire the mage's book when playing efficiently and using the best spells. Acquiring the book yields a profit of 3,600,574 while using the appropriate staves.
