Up until the 0.8 update, the only way to fight things in RuneScape: Dragonwilds has been to pump yourself up and use the power of fisticuffs to have a proper donnybrook. (Assuming your definition of fisticuffs includes swords and maybe arrows.) But the next update that arrives on June 17th brings with it proper magic, complete with focus, gear, perks, skill levels to improve, and everything you would expect when it comes to casting spells. No longer will you have to use a sword; now you can cast a spell like Summon Sword! (Note: That isn’t a spell; don’t get mad if you can’t learn that spell.)

The patch also includes new defensive fortifications that players can build to keep out unwanted invaders, ranging from hostile roaming wildlife, deadly organized humanoids, players with murderous intent, and Trab. And if you need things to be more challenging for you, well, go ahead and indulge in the new hard difficulty mode coming with the patch along with rebalancing of skills and items.
