Wind Surge is an air-based surge spell in the standard spellbook, requiring level 81 Magic to cast. As an offensive combat spell it can only be cast on attackable NPCs, or other players in a PvP situation.

It is the strongest wind spell in the game, as well as the most cost-effective surge spell to cast.

Damage

Wind Surge has a base maximum hit of 21 which increases as the player unlocks additional surge spells, up to 24 at level 95 Magic.

Magic level	Highest-level surge spell available	Wind Surge base maximum hit
81 - 84	Wind Surge	21
85 - 89	Water Surge	22
90 - 94	Earth Surge	23
95 +	Fire Surge	24

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

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