We won't cover summoning here today. I think that if you will be able to get lvl 99 magic you will be able to get the lunar and ancient spellbooks.Therefore being able to conquer meleers and rangers alike. Magic always beats meleers so rangers are magicians only problems but with good robes and the ancient spellbook ,magicians will be able to freeze rangers then do heavy damage. The last arguement is that magicians can't support themselves moneywise. I personally am a magican so this was a real problem to me. I tried woodcutting,runecrafting,thieving,and minining. At lvl 30 in each one i found that mining was the most profitable skill ,also at lvl 40 you can mine gold and your wallet becomes huge. It's time for you to decide.
