[glow=red,2,300]definitions[/glow] Lets begin with some basic definitions of magic-related items:
Rune – Runes are stones with magical qualities that allow you to cast spells.
Staff – The staff is the basic weapon used by the wizard. Certain staffs are more powerful than others, and some take the place of certain runes (more on that later)
Robes – Robes are the only clothing made especially for mages. Robes are very light, which allows mages to run farther than if they were in metal armor, and they also add to our maging capabilities, unlike armor, which lowers the amount you hit for and the experience you gain.
Mage – One who uses magic

Magic is an amazingly powerful form of combat. Magic is like ranging, but instead of using arrows, mages use their magic spells. Your magic level tells you which spells you can cast, and how much and how often you will hit an enemy with your spell. As your magic level gets higher, more spells become available to you, and as your level rises, you can hit more often and for higher amounts with spells you already know.
Magic can also be used out of combat. With magic, you can change bones into food, turn anything into cash, teleport to the major cities, and much more!
To look at the spells you can cast, click the spell book on the right side of the screen. Hover your mouse over the spells and you will see the level and the runes required for the spell
If you have the runes, it will show the amount of runes you have next to the amount required for the spell.

lol not quite done yet Cory!
[glow=green,2,300]Runes[/glow]
To get runes to cast spells, you can buy them from either rune store (one in Port Sarim, one in Varrock). The rune store in Port Sarim is cheaper than the one in Varrock, but it only stocks 1000 of each basic rune opposed to the 2000 in Varrock. The stores stock air, fire, water, earth, body, mind, chaos, and death runes. Runes can also be bought in the Wizard’s Guild and the Mage Arena. Another very good way to get runes is to craft them yourself.
Spells and Experience Casting spells in the new Runescape is very different from the old version in RS Classic. The amount of hits you hit with your spell affects the amount of experience you receive; the higher hit gives more experience. If you hit a 5, you will gain 4 experience for each point you hit for, so you gain 20 experience. Some pictures that may be of some help when using magic to fight are shown below, along with a table that shows the spells, the magic level needed to cast them, the runes needed to cast them, and the effect of the spell.
The images below shows the “auto-mage” screens, which allow you to click attack like you normally would with melee combat, but you use magic to attack the monster instead.

The image below shows your list of spells. The ones that are darkened (all of the ones shown here) cannot be cast because you do not have the right amount of runes to cast them.

What to Wear
As for what to wear while maging, some people just like to look good while they mage, but for the best magic bonus here is what I suggest:
F2P:
Wizards hat (blue)
Wizards robe (blue not black)
Blue skirt (no bonus, just looks cool)
Diamond or Sapphire Amulet
Members:
Gnome Hat
Blue Wizard's Robe (Top)
Zamorak Robe (Bottom)
Dragonstone, Diamond, or Sapphire Amulet
