Wind Surge is an air-based surge spell in the standard spellbook, requiring level 81 Magic to cast. As an offensive combat spell it can only be cast on attackable NPCs, or other players in a PvP situation.

It is the strongest wind spell in the game, as well as the most cost-effective surge spell to cast.

Damage

Wind Surge has a base maximum hit of 21 which increases as the player unlocks additional surge spells, up to 24 at level 95 Magic.

Magic Magic level Highest-level surge spell available Wind Surge base maximum hit
Magic 81 - 84 Wind Surge 21
Magic 85 - 89 Water Surge 22
Magic 90 - 94 Earth Surge 23
Magic 95 + Fire Surge 24

As with all combat spells, Wind Surge's maximum hit is also increased based on the player's magic damage bonus.

As an air-based spell, Wind Surge's maximum hit is also increased against targets that are weak to air.
