Dark Spell Factory



"Only the most brilliant or reckless Master Wizards dabble in Dark Elixir brewery. Their compact Dark Spells require keen insight to master, but provide unique tactical advantages."


 * Summary
 * The Dark Spell Factory allows the player to create Dark Spells using Dark Elixir. There are currently 3 permanently in-the-game spells: the Poison Spell, Earthquake Spell, and Haste Spell.
 * It is released on the July 2015 update.
 * All the spells created in the Dark Spell Factory take up only 1 housing space in the spell storage. The total spell storage capacity is shared between the Spell Factory and the Dark Spell Factory. Where as elixer spells take 2 spaces. Also at town hall 10 there are 11 avaialable spell storage slots. The Dark Spell Factory adds 1 spell storage capacity to the total spell storage capacity.


 * Upgrade Differences
 * The Dark Spell Factory undergoes a significant visual change at level 3.
 * When initially constructed, the Dark Spell Factory consists of a big wooden cauldron with a red interior and metal rims, supported by 4 wooden legs which has metal bases. Unlike the spell factory, it doesn't have a slingshot-shaped structure for the mixing spoon.
 * At level 2, all wooden parts of the building are replaced by metal and two golden spikes appear on each leg.
 * At level 3, the outer side of the cauldron receives gold plating. The legs seem thicker  and is protected by a metal plating outside of it, which has 2 bones - shaped like an 'X' - stuck on it.


 * Trivia
 * The Dark Spell Factory is inspired by the Dark Barracks.
 * The Dark Elixir Spells brewed in the Dark Spell Factory are placed inside vials, unlike Elixir Spells which are placed inside bottles.
 * Since there is no spell counterpart of the Army Camp which can hold spells, the Spell Factories takes the role of both creating and holding spells: the Spell Factory determines the main part of spell capacity, while the Dark Spell Factory increases the capacity by 1. For example, you'll have to upgrade the Spell Factory to level 5 (rather than upgrading the Dark Spell Factory) in order to hold 11 Dark Elixir spells.
 * You can use it to hide Dark Elixir by queuing spells when your spell storage is full. Currently you can hide a maximum of 1080 Dark Elixir by queuing 6 maxed-out Earthquake Spells in a level 3 Dark Spell Factory.
 * Although Dark Elixir Troops generally have more housing spaces than Elixir Troops, currently all Dark Elixir spells have one housing space while all Elixir spells have two. This probably leaves room for future Dark Elixir spells which are more powerful and take more than two housing spaces.
