OSRS Magic Calculator
Magic splits into cheap-and-slow and fast-and-pricey. The budget route is splashing or alchemy, which you can do almost AFK while you watch something else; the fast route is bursting and barraging stacked Slayer or maniacal-monkey tasks, which top out around 400k XP/hr. There are also profitable utility spells like Plank Make and High Alchemy that make money while you train.

Magic calculator — FAQ
What's the fastest way to train Magic in OSRS?
Barraging or bursting tightly-packed monsters — stacked Slayer tasks like dust devils or smoke devils, or maniacal monkeys — is the fastest Magic XP, roughly 300k–400k XP/hr. It only needs runes, so even ironmen can sustain it by crafting their own.
How do you train Magic cheaply in OSRS?
Splashing (casting a weak spell on a monster you can't damage) is the cheapest near-AFK method, and High Alchemy actually makes a small profit while training. Both are slow but cost little attention, which is why they're popular background methods.
Is alching good Magic XP?
High Alchemy is a solid passive method at roughly 78k XP/hr — slow compared to barraging, but you can do it while doing other things and it usually turns a small profit on the right items, so it effectively trains for free.
