When in doubt, do quests! You are obviously in doubt, so...do quests!

 

Start by turning on the filter option in your quest list so that it only shows the quests you can currently do. Then do all of those. Inevitably, completing those quests will unlock more quests, so do those too. Once you run out of quests in the filtered list, you can turn off the filter and start training up your skills to do more quests!

 

Quests are, hands-down, the best way to develop your character. (Second-best: leveling up combat skills.) They're also (imo) the most fun part of the game anyway. Oh, and also the best way to level your magic, since you asked. Watchtower Quest in particular gives amazing xp as a reward.

 

Edit: Pikkupstix (the summoning guy) is in Taverley. You can find it with the search function on your world map. (The globe icon in the upper-right if you haven't found it yet--use it, it's really useful if you get lost.) You can get more charms by killing monsters.

Um.. Let's see here... You said you were new, had no clue what your were doing, and wanted some help. So, I linked you to a guide that showed you how to play the game and you don't even act great full? You come on to these forums and start acting like that and you won't get very far here. Just some "helpful" advice.

 

EDIT: Also listen to troacctid and Zaaps1, they're both very knowledgeable and will be able to help with just about anything.

I've been working on a guide to questing for levels. Here's the section on magic:

• Begin with Witch's Potion and Imp Catcher. The 1200 experience from the two of them should put you at 10 magic.
  
• Now do A Fairy Tale Part 1. You'll get 1000 experience, enough for level 14 magic.
  
• 14 magic is enough for Watchtower, which gives a whopping 15,250 experience! This should take you to 32 magic!
  
• Rune Mechanics is worth another 2.3k experience for level 33.

This is a pretty good head start. The quests start to make less of a difference from here on out, so if you want to stop here and train traditionally, go ahead. otherwise...

• Now that you can telegrab, you can complete Spirits of the Elid and The Giant Dwarf. Together these quests will give you 2500 experience, enough for 35 magic.
  
• Continue on to do the Lumbridge Guide portion of Recipe for Disaster for another 2500 experience. You should be at 36 magic.
  
• Now that you can use all of the Bolt spells, you should be able to take out the Dagannoth Mother in Horror from the Deep. Do so to get another 4.6k experience, enough for level 36.
  
• You can now do Enakhra's Lament. With zero actual training, the 7000 experience reward should leave you about 1k xp short of 40 magic.
  
• Conveniently, Tale of the Muspah gives 1k xp.

 

So there you go, that should get you to 40. Some of the quests might be too high for you right now, but it should be a useful skeleton anyway, I hope.

 

The best way to level summoning is to train combat, specifically melee combat. A great place to start off combat is killing the lv2 Men in Edgeville...they're pretty weak and you can pick up the herbs and bones they drop to sell on the Grand Exchange for a nice profit. They don't drop charms, but most of the decent charm droppers are too strong for you at the beginning, and you'll need the money for spirit shards anyway.

 

There are summoning pures who train summoning and defense as their only combat skills, but it's much slower than just leveling up traditionally to get a strong foothold in combat and I don't recommend that style of training.
