Magic
Magic is SankoQuest's spell-casting skill. The combat spellbook is complete as of July 2026: the game has exactly 8 combat spells, all verified in-game (2026-07-05) with unlock levels, per-cast shard costs, and max hits (one max hit not recorded — see below). Every cast consumes Shards crafted with the Mixnometry skill. Magic's combat-hit XP formula, including a splash (miss) mechanic unique to the skill, is now documented below — see Combat XP. Cast speed, accuracy, and damage formulas beyond XP still need gameplay verification. Magic is no longer combat-only: client data from 2026-08-27 adds three teleport spells to the same spell registry — see Teleport Spells below.

Teleport Spells
Client data read on 2026-08-27 found the spell registry had grown from exactly 8 entries to 11. The three new entries carry kind: "teleport" rather than kind: "combat", and the client gained matching helper functions to separate the two kinds — the first non-combat spells recorded on this wiki.
All three rows are Unverified: they come from the client's code and have not been cast in-game. None of the 8 combat spells changed in any way.
| Spell | Magic level | Shard cost | Destination | Magic XP | Cast time | Cooldown |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Home Teleport | 1 | None (free) | Desert (x 133, z 184) | None | 7 ticks | 3,000 ticks |
| Apache Teleport | 25 | 1 Warp Shard, 3 Air Shard, 1 Fire Shard | Apache (x 201, z 69) | 35 | 1 tick | None |
| Greentown Teleport | 31 | 1 Warp Shard, 3 Air Shard, 1 Earth Shard | Greentown (x 373, z 268) | 41 | 1 tick | None |
None of the three can be cast in combat, and all three are interruptible.
Two things follow from this that are worth stating plainly:
It gives Warp Shard its first confirmed use. Warp Shard sat on this wiki for weeks with no known purpose — it was craftable at Mixnometry 30 and did nothing observable. Both paid teleports consume one per cast, which also explains why the Wise Old Man prices it at 600 Coins, far above every other shard.
It explains the "31 magic" line in the Desert Adventure walkthrough. That guide lists "31 magic", "Teleport to Greentown", and "Teleport to Apache" as recommended preparation without saying why 31. Greentown Teleport requires exactly Magic 31. The guide was written from gameplay and this figure comes from the client, so the two agreeing is independent corroboration of both.
Help verify in-game confirmation of the three teleport spells, and how they are unlocked (whether Desert Adventure completion is required for Apache Teleport, or the Magic level alone) Accepted evidence: spellbook screenshot at the relevant Magic levels, or casting them in-game.
Shard Inputs
Missile-tier spells consume elemental shards plus a Spirit Shard; Blast-tier spells consume elemental shards plus a Void Shard (verified in-game, 2026-07-05). Each spell page renders its shard cost with {{Recipe|recipe_kind=Spell}}. Use item links for shard pages and keep damage formulas out of prose until tested. Shards themselves are crafted with the Mixnometry skill (one of the game's 15 skills, verified in-game; exact in-game capitalization unverified) at altars; Void Shards are in turn combined from Fire, Earth, and Spirit shards — see Mixnometry.
Combat XP
Mechanic
Magic combat hits are confirmed to follow the same base rule already documented for melee and Archery's pure styles: total combat-skill XP per hit equals damage dealt × 4, awarded entirely to Magic, plus Stamina XP equal to damage dealt × 1 on top (verified in-game, July 2026; see Combat#Combat XP Formula for the general rule). This resolves an earlier caveat on the Combat, Stamina, and Calculators pages, which excluded Magic from the formula pending confirmation; the parallel caveat on the Attack, Strength, Defense, and Archery pages is not yet updated and still reads as an open question pending a separate edit. Magic is a single-skill style throughout — no split-style behavior like Archery's Longrange (which sends part of its XP to Defense) has been reported for Magic.
Confirmed worked examples:
- A 1-damage Magic hit grants 4 Magic XP + 1 Stamina XP.
- A 2-damage Magic hit grants 8 Magic XP + 2 Stamina XP.
Splashing — landing a hit for 0 damage, i.e. a miss — is a case unique to Magic among the reported combat skills: it still grants a flat 2 Magic XP, half of a 1-damage hit's Magic XP, rather than the 0 XP the damage × 4 formula alone would produce (confirmed in-game, July 2026). Whether a splash also grants any Stamina XP was not stated; taking the damage × 1 formula literally (0 damage × 1 = 0) suggests none, but this specific case is presumed rather than confirmed — see Stamina's XP Formula for the parallel caveat.
| Result | Magic XP | Stamina XP |
|---|---|---|
| 1 damage | 4 | 1 |
| 2 damage | 8 | 2 |
| Splash (0 damage / miss) | 2 | Not stated — presumed 0, unconfirmed |
Datamine Reconciliation (resolved)
An earlier in-game observation recorded the basic air spell costing 1 Air Shard + 1 Spirit Shard, which conflicted with the datamined Air Blast row. With the full spellbook verified in-game (2026-07-05), that discrepancy is resolved: 1 Air Shard + 1 Spirit Shard is Air Missile's cost — the first spell — not Air Blast's. Air Blast, verified in-game at Magic 17 with 2 Air Shards + 1 Void Shard per cast and a max hit of 9, matches its datamined row exactly; the datamine is consistent with in-game observation.
Separately, the client's own level_requirements.magic_spells table (each row tagged skill="magic") lists exactly the same 8 unlock levels as the table above — Air Missile 1, Water Missile 5, Earth Missile 9, Fire Missile 13, Air Blast 17, Water Blast 23, Earth Blast 29, Fire Blast 35 (2026-07-08). This is an additional, independent confirmation of the levels already verified in-game; it does not change any number.

Needs a verified source Fire Blast's max hit, Air Missile's exact unlock level, spell cast timing, accuracy, damage formula, combat use, and confirmation of whether splashing grants any Stamina XP (currently presumed zero, not directly confirmed) Accepted evidence: gameplay screenshot, official data, reader capture, or curator-reviewed notes.
