Wind Wave is an air-based wave spell in the standard spellbook, requiring level 62 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 second-strongest wind spell in the game, with the strongest being Wind Surge. It is also the most cost-effective wave spell to cast.

Damage

Wind Wave's base maximum hit starts at 17 and increases as the player unlocks additional wave spells, up to 20 at level 75 Magic.

Magic level	Highest-level wave spell available	Wind Wave base maximum hit
62 - 64	Wind Wave	17
65 - 69	Water Wave	18
70 - 74	Earth Wave	19
75 +	Fire Wave	20

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

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