Like other Void Knight equipment, wearing it requires 42 Attack, Strength, Defence, Constitution, Ranged, and Magic, along with 22 Prayer. When worn with any three of four Void pieces (out of a Void Knight top, robe, gloves, and deflector), the helm increases magic accuracy by 3% and magic damage by 5%. The void knight mage helm can be upgraded into its superior variant by using a void knight armour patch on it, which can be purchased from a Void Knight for 200 Void Knight commendation points.
