Dark wizards are Zamorakian mages that attack with low-level magic. They can be primarily found around the Varrock stone circle and in the Dark Wizards' Tower, and are notable for frequently dropping runes, as well as black robes and wizard hats. They are also notable for being a considerable threat to very low level players due to their relatively high max hit for their combat level and position next to the southern entrance of Varrock.

They play a small role in the Demon Slayer quest, performing a ritual to summon the demon Delrith.

The wizards attack with a variety of spells. The level 7 variant will attack with Water Strike and Confuse spells, while the level 20 variant will attack with Earth Strike and Weaken spells.
