Updated for Town Hall 18 (October 2026).
Magic Items are consumables that skip timers, fill storages, boost levels or upgrade things for free. There are 25 of them in October 2026: 5 Books, 8 Potions, 5 Runes, 4 Hammers, plus the Wall Ring, the Shovel of Obstacles and the Builder Star Jar. The Training Potion is gone; it was retired when troop training times were removed in March 2025.
Where Magic Items are stored
Your inventory lives in the Town Hall (and the Builder Hall on the Builder Base). Tap either one and choose Magic Items to see everything you own, with item descriptions. Attackers cannot steal them.
Each item has a cap: 1 of each Book, Rune and Hammer, 5 of each Potion, Shovel and Star Jar, and 25 Wall Rings. Shop offers can push you over the cap. If you win an item while full, it goes to the Temporary Storage for 24 hours. Since the Gold Pass rework of March 2026 you can use an overflow item on the spot or sell it, and if it expires you get Gems for it.
How to get Magic Items
- Season Challenges (the Gold Pass and the free Silver track) and Clan Games reward tiers.
- The Trader, which rotates offers for Gems and also sells several Potions, Wall Rings, the Shovel and the Star Jar for Raid Medals earned in the Clan Capital.
- The Clan War League shop, paid with League Medals. Hammers can only be bought there.
- Events, Treasure Chests and, since June 2026, the Hero Journey reward track.
Books: finish an upgrade now
A Book completes an upgrade that is already running, so you still pay the resource cost first. Save them for the longest timers you have.
| Book | What it finishes | Max held | Sells for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Book of Building | Any building upgrade or construction, including gear-ups | 1 | 50 Gems |
| Book of Fighting | A troop or Siege Machine upgrade | 1 | 50 Gems |
| Book of Spells | A spell upgrade | 1 | 50 Gems |
| Book of Heroes | A hero or pet upgrade | 1 | 50 Gems |
| Book of Everything | Any timer, but only when no other Book fits | 1 | 50 Gems |
Potions: temporary boosts
Using two of the same Potion doubles the duration, not the strength.
| Potion | Effect | Max held |
|---|---|---|
| Builder Potion | Home Village Builders work 10x faster for 1 hour (not the Builder’s Apprentice) | 5 |
| Research Potion | Laboratory research 24x faster for 1 hour | 5 |
| Pet Potion | Pet House upgrades 24x faster for 1 hour | 5 |
| Resource Potion | Gold Mines, Elixir Collectors and Dark Elixir Drills produce 2x for 1 day | 5 |
| Power Potion | Troops, spells and Siege Machines raised to your Town Hall’s max level for 1 hour | 5 |
| Hero Potion | Heroes and pets raised to your Town Hall’s max level for 1 hour (attacks only since February 2026) | 5 |
| Super Potion | Boosts one troop into its Super Troop for 3 days; needs a Super Sauna | 5 |
| Clock Tower Potion | Runs the Builder Base Clock Tower boost for 30 minutes | 5 |
Every Potion sells for 10 Gems. The Builder Potion is best used when every Builder is on an upgrade with at least 10 hours left, because each one then does 10 hours of work in one. The same logic applies to the Research and Pet Potions with 24 hours.
Runes: fill your storages
A Rune fills every storage of one resource to the top. Use it with storages empty and freshly upgraded to get the most out of it. It will not work if that storage is already full, and the game warns you above 70%.
| Rune | Fills | Max held | Sells for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rune of Gold | Home Village Gold Storages | 1 | 50 Gems |
| Rune of Elixir | Home Village Elixir Storages | 1 | 50 Gems |
| Rune of Dark Elixir | Dark Elixir Storage | 1 | 50 Gems |
| Rune of Builder Gold | Builder Base Gold Storages | 1 | 50 Gems |
| Rune of Builder Elixir | Builder Base Elixir Storages | 1 | 50 Gems |
Hammers: free upgrades
A Hammer pays for an upgrade and finishes it instantly, but you must start it with the Hammer (it cannot touch an upgrade already in progress) and meet every other requirement, such as a free Builder for buildings and heroes. Hammers come only from the Clan War League shop, one of each at a time, with a 7-day wait before you can buy the same type again.
| Hammer | Upgrades | League Medal cost | Sells for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hammer of Building | Any building (Builder Base traps too since April 2026) | 120 | 100 Gems |
| Hammer of Fighting | A troop or Siege Machine | 120 | 100 Gems |
| Hammer of Spells | A spell | 120 | 100 Gems |
| Hammer of Heroes | A hero or pet | 165 | 100 Gems |
Put a Hammer on the most expensive upgrade available to you. Walls and items bought from the shop cannot be hammered.
Wall Ring, Shovel of Obstacles and Builder Star Jar
A Wall Ring upgrades one Wall section with no resources. Each ring is worth 1 million Gold or Elixir in the Home Village (500,000 on the Builder Base), so higher wall levels take several rings each. You can hold 25, and since the August 2026 update rings no longer need a free Builder.
The Shovel of Obstacles makes one obstacle permanently movable, like a decoration. You can hold 5.
The Builder Star Jar makes the Builder Base Star Bonus available again immediately, without resetting the normal timer. You can hold 5.
Removed: the Training Potion
The Training Potion sped up the Barracks, Spell Factories, Workshop and hero recovery 4x for an hour. The Clash Anytime update of March 24, 2025 removed training and hero recovery times entirely, so the Training Potion, the Training Treat snack and the Gold Pass Training Boost all went with them. Any Training Potions players still held were sold for Gems automatically.
Magic Snacks
Magic Snacks are a separate, weaker family from Treasure Chests. They sit in the Temporary Storage for 24 hours and vanish if unused. The five current snacks are the Builder Bite (Builders 2x for 1 hour), Study Soup (Laboratory and Pet House 4x for 1 hour), Mighty Morsel (heroes, pets and equipment at max level for 3 attacks), Power Pancakes (troops, spells and sieges at max level for 3 attacks) and the Clan Castle Cake (free self-reinforcement for 12 hours).
