Magic essence

The magic essence is a potion that plays a major part in the quest Fairytale II - Cure a Queen. The potion requires level 57 Herblore to create, and will give 130 experience per potion made. The potion is made by adding a starflower to a vial of water, and then adding gorak claw powder, made by using a pestle and mortar on a set of gorak claws. Drinking a dose of magic essence temporarily raises the player's Magic level by 3.

Both the primary and secondary ingredients for the potion require partial completion of Fairytale II to obtain. Gorak claws are frequently dropped from goraks, which can be found either in a separate dimension using fairy ring code DIR, or in the God Wars Dungeon. Starflowers are found on another dimension, the Cosmic Plane, which can be reached via Fairy Ring code CKP. The flowers take about 2–5 minutes to start growing after the player arrives on the plane and require level 49 Farming to be picked.

Players who have completed the Barbarian Training miniquest can add caviar into a 2-dose magic essence to create a magic essence mix. The mix provides the same boost, but also heals six Hitpoints. The Barbarian version of the potion is tradeable, but will not cure the Queen.
