[[Magic]] combat has since been confirmed (2026-07-08) to follow the same core damage × 4 / damage × 1 pattern, but it grants '''Magic''' XP and Stamina XP, not Archery XP — Magic hits do not train Archery. See [[Magic#Combat XP]] and [[Combat#Combat XP Formula]] for the full Magic breakdown, including the splash (0-damage) exception.

GrizzledAlchemistb40f9cb5: Adds Combat Styles and XP section: three styles (Accurate, Rapid, Longrange) cross-validated against the datamined combat-mode enum; Longrange's 2/2 Archery+Defense split stated as confirmed, Accurate/Rapid's presumed pure-Archery XP clearly hedged as inference; always-on Stamina damage×1 noted; Magic explicitly excluded from the formula (fixed during gate — file previously omitted the Magic-exclusion note); a source-evidence naming reference was also neutralized to match house voice.
