In Clash of Clans, checking your magic item storage is pretty straightforward. You just need to tap on either your Town Hall or Builder Hall and then select the "Magic Items" option. This will open up your inventory, showing you all the magic items you currently have, along with how many of each you possess and their descriptions.

Magic items are super helpful boosts that can speed up your progress in the game. They do everything from instantly finishing upgrades to filling up your resource storages or boosting your troops and heroes for a limited time. Knowing where to find them and how many you have is key to using them wisely.

Finding Your Magic Items

To see your magic items, follow these simple steps:

1. Open Clash of Clans: Launch the game on your device.

2. Go to your Village: Make sure you're in your Home Village or Builder Base.

3. Tap your Town Hall or Builder Hall: Just a quick tap on either of these main buildings will bring up a menu.

4. Select "Magic Items": Look for the "Magic Items" button in the menu that appears and tap it.

And there you have it! This screen shows your entire collection of books, potions, runes, hammers, shovels, and wall rings. It’s your one-stop shop for managing these powerful boosts. You can see how many you have of each item and even read a quick description of what each one does.

I remember one time I was trying to finish a massive Barbarian King upgrade. I had completely forgotten I had a Book of Heroes stored away! When I finally remembered to check my Town Hall, there it was, saving me days of waiting. It felt like finding forgotten money in an old jacket, a really good surprise that sped things up a lot.

Understanding Storage Limits

While magic items are awesome, you can't just hoard an endless supply of them. There are limits to how many of each type you can hold at one time.

Here’s a quick look at the typical storage limits:

• Books: You can usually hold 1 of each specific type (like a Book of Building or Book of Heroes).
• Runes: Similar to books, you can typically keep 1 of each kind of Rune.
• Hammers: You're often limited to 1 of each type of Hammer.
• Potions: You can store up to 5 of each potion (like Resource Potion or Builder Potion).
• Shovels of Obstacles: You can usually hold up to 5.
• Wall Rings: These have a higher limit, typically 25.

What happens if you get more than you can hold? For items earned from Clan Games, Season Challenges, or Events, any excess items often give you the option to sell them for Gems instead. However, if you purchase special offers from the in-game shop with real money, these items can sometimes exceed your normal storage limits.

I learned this the hard way once when I earned a Book of Building from Clan Games but already had one. I was bummed I couldn't keep both, but at least I got some gems for it. It taught me to be more mindful of my inventory before claiming rewards.

Magic items are collected in several ways, including reaching reward tiers in Clan Games and Season Challenges, completing special events, buying them from the Trader with Raid Medals or Gems, purchasing them from the League Shop using Clan War League Medals, or buying them directly from the in-game shop with real money.

These items are super useful for speeding up progress in Clash of Clans. For example, the Forge is a building where you can create magic items, and understanding your magic item storage helps you know when you have space for new ones. You can learn more about how to use the Forge effectively by checking out our guide on What is the Forge in Clash of Clans?.

If you’re looking to get ahead in Clash of Clans, magic items are a huge help. You can even use Playstorm to earn gift cards like Google Play or Apple App Store vouchers, which you can then use for in-app purchases to grab those valuable magic item special offers in Clash of Clans.
