A magic staff is a magic weapon providing standard magical bonuses and the autocast option when equipped. It is an improvement over the basic staff, with over double the magical bonuses and higher melee bonuses. Due to not possessing any elemental features, it is a very unpopular weapon of choice.

The staff can most easily be purchased from Zaff's Superior Staffs! in Varrock, dropped by various enemies, or obtained as a reward from the Shades of Mort'ton minigame.

Despite being obtainable for a lower price than other staffs, an initial investment on an elemental staff would result in saving a lot more in rune costs.
