Old School RuneScape magic training: finding best items for high level alchemy?
In Old School RuneScape, High Level Alchemy is a spell which converts items into money. How can I figure out the best items on which to cast this spell if I want to gain Magic experience? Here, "best" means a combination of low loss per cast (self-explanatory), low unit cost per item (so I can buy a lot of casts' worth of supplies at once), and generous four-hour Grand Exchange buy limit (same reason).

This spreadsheet contains an up-to-date (Jan 2016) high alchemy calculator using OSBuddy price data. Here's some information from the reddit announcement thread:
Prices automatically refresh every 2 hours or upon my manual request. Check the Welcome page for when the prices were updated.
[The] High Alch page... compares the alch price and OSB selling (higher) price of all items in the game. It is sortable by alch profit, which includes the price of a nature rune. Most of the items on the top are low trade volume (easily manipulated prices), but there are usually some good ones there.
Note that this spreadsheet depends on OSBuddy's price data, so it might break occasionally when OSBuddy is undergoing maintenance.

What is the fastest way to level up Magic in old school runescape?
At higher levels, Magic can be trained much faster through casting multi-target burst or barrage spells on Ancient Magicks. The most efficient way to do this is on Slayer tasks, as certain Slayer monsters (such as Dust devils and Greater Nechryael) can be bursted or barraged for fast Slayer experience.What should I train Magic on Osrs?
Auto retaliation can be effectively used to do this. Players can also cast High Alchemy by dragging and dropping an item into their Money Pouch provided that they have the required runes. It will cast at the same speed and cooldown as if it was casted from spellbook or action bar.OSRS Money Making guide 2021 | High Alchemy
