Wind Strike is an air-based strike spell in the standard spellbook available starting at level 1 Magic. As an offensive combat spell it can only be cast on attackable NPCs, or other players in a PvP situation.

Wind Strike is the weakest wind spell in the game, as well as the first combat spell players gain access to. It is commonly used by players training Magic via splashing, due to its low rune cost.

Wind Strike's base maximum hit starts at 2 and increases as the player unlocks additional strike spells, up to 8 at level 13 Magic.

Magic level	Highest-level strike spell available	Wind Strike base maximum hit
1 - 4	Wind Strike	2
5 - 8	Water Strike	4
9 - 12	Earth Strike	6
13 +	Fire Strike	8

As with all combat spells, Wind Strike's maximum hit is also increased based on the player's magic damage bonus.

As an air-based spell, Wind Strike's maximum hit is also increased against targets that are weak to air.
