Bones to Bananas is a spell that can be used to turn all normal bones, burnt bones, bat bones, bleached bones, jogre bones, wolf bones, monkey bones, Alan's bones, animals' bones, and big bones in the inventory into bananas. It requires two water runes, two earth runes, and one Nature rune to be cast, with a Magic level of 15. This spell can be useful when fighting monsters which drop bones as a 100% drop, as the bananas produced heal 2 Hitpoints each.

If you are casting the spell only for magic experience, add only one bone to your inventory at a time as it turns ALL bones in inventory into bananas for only 25 exp per spell regardless of number of bones. At least one bone or big bone must be in your inventory to be able to cast the spell.

Players can unlock the next tier of the Bones to Bananas spell, Bones to Peaches, using Pizazz points at the Mage Training Arena. Players can then use the spell with a Magic level of 60, and the resulting peaches heal 8 Hitpoints.

  1. ^ Smith. Old School RuneScape. "Are ye familiar with the spell bones to bananas? [Yes, why?] Well, due to a blow to the head he took in the fight, the surgeon cast that spell, thinking it was some sort of new healing spell. And he did so while touching Jenkins' ribs. (...) See, he survived, his bones turned to bananas, as a huge storm blew up and the crew debated what to do with him."
