Sacred clay pouches (class 3) are made by using class 3 sacred clay on a Creation kiln in Stealing Creation. They require level 40 Summoning to make and use.

When you die any familiar you had summoned will disappear and will drop any items they were holding on the ground where they were standing when you died. Many players, particularly mages, though theoretically anyone could use this tactic, use familiars to their advantage in this situation. When the familiar disappears and drops the items it is holding the items, for a short time the items are only visible to you (similar to if you were to drop the items yourself). For this reason many mages use familiars to hold extra runes so that if they die they can run back, pick up the runes, and resume fighting without having to make more.
