The magic items from previous Skylanders games now function only at the Skylanders Academy. The following is a breakdown of what they do when you put them on the Portal of Power and add them to your Legendary Treasure collection.
Training Dummies
These items function as training dummies. When you attack them, damage numbers appear over their heads. Some hits also cause the dummies to drop treasure. When the coins stop coming, you must leave and return to the Academy the next day to get more coins.
| One Hit, Many Coins, All at Once | Many Hits, Few Coins, More than Once | Many Hits, Many Coins, All at Once |
|---|---|---|
| Battle Hammer | Anvil Rain | Healing Elixir |
| Darklight Crypt | Platinum Sheep | Mirror of Mystery |
| Dragon’s Peak | Sheep Wreck Island | Piggy Bank |
| Empire of Ice | Sky-Iron Shield | Sky Diamond |
| Fiery Forge | Sunscraper Spire | |
| Hidden Treasure | Tower of Time | |
| Midnight Museum | ||
| Tiki Speaky |
Coin Dispensers
Instead of attacking these items to get coins, you interact with them. Some put on a show for you as well. You can receive one reward per day.
| Arkeyan Crossbow |
| Dragonfire Cannon |

Legendary Treasure-Like
These items function like Legendary Treasures. Almost.
| Magic Item | Acts Like | Except… |
|---|---|---|
| Groove Machine | Boombox | It’s 1880s technology instead of 1980s technology. |
| Nightmare Express | Toy Car Racetrack | It’s a train. On train tracks. |
| Pirate Ship | Toy Boat Racetrack | It’s a pirate ship. |
| Sparx the Dragonfly | Chompy Ball | One flies and the other rolls. |
| Volcanic Vault | Black Hole | Surprisingly, they function exactly the same. |
