How to train it
Magic damage is the staff or wand's power level and the rune; the level is for the perks and the spells. Wearing a full set of magic armour gives -50% stamina regeneration delay, +10% magic attack speed and +15% magic critical chance, and a single piece gives the stamina part, which is why every gathering guide tells you to wear a mage hat. The robe line runs apprentice, wizard, dark mage, splitbark, mystic, infinity and ancestral, with Zamorak and Lunar Garou robes as equivalents. Trinkets: the 
Amulet of Glory for +25% damage, the Amulet of Magic for +12.5% magic damage, the 
Unholy Symbol for +15% at the cost of 15% health, the 
Salve Amulet for +17% on undead and the Inspiring Amulet of Magic for +5% XP; the Magic Cape gives casts a chance to cost no stamina.
The fastest known method is the same Tok-Xil bounce the other combat skills use, and magic does it best: two spawns in the Umbral Sands, each nearly killed from a safe spot, reset by teleporting between them, about 1,800 XP every 45 seconds and up to 144,000 an hour with Knowledgable Nourishment, a 
Magical Focus and a 
Lesser Magic Potion running. Build one lodestone a medium distance from the spawn, on the big rock, so the Tok-Xil appears, and another inside the safe spot: a fence, a two-by-two raised platform and a roof two tiles above your head so its artillery can't stagger you. The pyramid spawns are reliable; the ruined-town one needs you to walk away first.
