After reaching level 43 on my prayer pure I decided it was worthless to continue working on prayer, so I switched to magic. I realized that magic isn't a very cost effective thing to level until you reach level 55 (high alchemy), but I had earned enough money from my merching in Edgeville (refer to http://buypoe.com/runescape-guides/1...ow-levels.html if you need to earn money) so I just went and bought all the runes I'd need until level 55. This method allowed me to reach level 90 magic quickly and profitably.
