I thought that it would be nicer to have a separate topic about magic. So here you can discuss about everything you want as long as it is about magic ;)

Below I will include what we know about collecting magic and some strategy ideas. We will include more info as we discover it and have time to include it. :)

Hiding info so we don't have to scroll as much while still being able to access the info.

I just wanted to pop in and thank everyone for helping out with all their magic earning discoveries. I've been working hard on both sides to maximize rewards for habitats. The Knights of Ni would be squealing in delight over my one island at times :-)
:D :D :D

is that confirmed wapa? Last time I saw that number it was an estimated guess. Also I have been starting farming shrubs for a bit (as much as time allows me) because BF has fixed the game for iPad1 :) it now uses the graphics for iPod/iphone (not retina).

^ Yep, I saw screenshots. There is a 14000 upgrade as well. Also, building habitats does seem to have diminishing returns. I decided to buy a couple extra large rainbow habitats for now so that I can put some highers to use at night while I sleep. I got 50 for the first. I got less for the second, but I am sorry to say I forgot how much. :( Different habitats are also worth different amounts, probably based on cost rather than time it takes to build.

Ugh. They had better give us a lot longer for this event! At the rate the tines are moving, it will be over far too fast to achieve the 14000 upgrade in both light and dark...

What are people doing to get so much magic? I just did all gem gifts, collected dragon cash, raced (yes, I gave in), visited friends till the diminishing returns was enough and bred/sold dragons. For all that, which was about 25 minutes, I got about 850 magic. I have one batch of food growing, but that won't net much. Are people with all the upgrades just doing crazy stuff like buying hundreds of bushes or what?

Bliss, I also get about 850/day before I have to start buying bushes or spending real-life money. Maybe a little bit more (from collecting food), but not a ton more

I just got the giant 5-dragon light habitat and it's pretty awesome, definitely worth it. Not sure if the 14000 upgrade (the third egg) is worth it, because theoretically I can just breed the first two to get a display egg, right(?)

For my part, I did some bush growing for a few days, but it is really annoying. I also grew short treats, also somewhat annoying. The big thing I am doing now is having six small plant habitats with level 15 dragons from my hibernation cave in them. The habitats fill very quickly. As I work or relax, I keep my ipad open to DV nearby. I frequently glance over and collect coins. It is amazing how much magic you can earn that way. It is also amazing how much faster your battery runs down. :) However, it is a very easy way to collect magic. I know I'm losing money that way b/c of all the times the habitats fill up long before I collect, but for now that doesn't bother me. I already have 32 dragons at level 17. There are only 54 left to go before I complete that goal. Then I'll have to choose a new goal. Of course, long before I finish that goal we'll have all sorts of light/dark dragons, so the goal will take longer to complete. I'm content. I should have a giant light habitat within a week to 10 days. That is my current reward goal, and using the small plant habitats is a very painless way to help me achieve that goal.

I also use 10 gems a day to get 30 light and 30 dark magic. I have plenty of gems, so I figure the purchase is a good one.

What does the giant 5 habitat look like?

I just really, really like the ball of pure light. I know the all the light habitats have it, but it isn't lifted up as high as the dark habitat's ball of dark energy until you get the giant light habitat. And that it looks like it was modeled on a hot, alien desert planet with a giant sun haha

I'm still going for the 5,600 level Light reward. I have the 5,600 Dark. The one thing I haven't done yet is level up dragons. I have 38 million food sitting around so I'm going to try to go it this weekend. Been busy and have only been able to check in on DV a couple of times a day since the event started. Wish they'd have done this thing a few months ago. It seems like I had all the time in the world back then.

I have the 5600 light and am trying to decide whether to go for the 7200 light or 5600 dark next...

Okay, I just cast exactly 5600/5600 magic on the Dark tine. The progress bar disappeared but nothing elapse happened. I collected some more coin to get another unit of magic and cast it to Dark. I tapped the info button and it now shows 5601/5600. Is this normal behavior?
Back when I posted this problem, the way I got to 5600 was that when I hit 4600 Dark Magic I bought the 1000 Dark Magic for $4.99. After I shut down DV and went back in I got the reward. However when I got my receipt from iTunes today I was charged $4.99 twice. I went to the BFS website but it said I had to contact Apple, which I did. I'm about to hit 4600 on the Light Magic and was planning on buying the last 1000 for it as well. Guess I'll hold off on that for now.

I figured I needed the magic and I haven't paid anything to DV in probably a year and a half so I would kick them $10 ($5 for Dark and $5 for Light) and get my magic. Never had anything like this happen before.

Just wanted to thank you for the small plant habitat strategy! I was using the shrub strat to hit the 3000, and it got really annoying really fast. Now, I have 9 small plant habitats full of high earning dragons so I get treasure chests within seconds. I even moved my race track next to them so I can repeatedly race then collect when I have time to play continuously.

You are welcome. I didn't come up with the idea; I just made use of it and passed the helpful info on to others. :)
