"I don't believe so" - Are you referring to my first question, about if there is anywhere to see how much you've earned for the day?
Until we find an answer to that question, I'm going to approach it by only spending my magic when I get to 1,000 and hopefully doing that 3 times per day.
There isn't a precise running tally, just X/1000 for the day.
However the individual habitats keep track of how much Magic you have Cast into them:
My upgraded Dark Reward Habitat is 958/5600 My Upgraded Light Reward Habitat is 414/5600
I assume they will upgrade again once I hit the 5600 mark in a few days time...
There will definitely be a way to optimise this - there always is. We just need to work out what gives you how much magic and when. E.g. Maybe 3 races at 4 seperate times during the day will net you a good result (if it can be shown from above that there are indeed mini timers).
There are absolutely min timers, I just don't;l know how long they take to rest yet. I don't think they are very long though.
I just raced again after not racing at all for at least 4 hours and got the full 50 Magic on my first go.
Going to Race again in 2 hours and see what happens.
I'm very interested to see how the treats work - if all treats are treated equally, then it would be best to grow the 6 hour treats a few times a day (again, if there are mini timers).
I think the act of collecting anything is what triggers the check for magic and then the next time you perform the same action, it checks again and, if successful. gives you some more magic, but at the reduced rate.
But needs more testing. I wasn't recording numbers when my first batch of beanstalks finished...

Yes, I don't believe there is a counter. If you don't mind losing some magic when you hit the cap, you could wait for the 1000, but better would be emptying at ~500 so absolutely none is wasted.
I can't check the goal because they were all gilded, but rewards for shrines all say: "bfsgift_statueplant_gold_fb_title", "currency": {"gems": "40", "food": "1000000"},
Magic has a bit of a random thing going for it, and it is different for each action. Treat growing:
Seems to always give 30 magic as a result, a maximum of 6 times a day. And as I got it the first 2 times I grew the 30 second treats, you could power your way through those till you got your 6 lots of 30 magic and you'd be done. Or maybe you only have a chance of earning on your first 6 attempts to grow stuff?
Very interesting - thanks. One of my shrines is quite close, so I'll gild that in the near future and confirm (waiting until the level cap glitch is fixed so I don't waste the EXP).
I currently have some 6 hour ones going, so once they are done, I'll see what happens and then keep doing the 30 second ones and see what happens also.
I'm very keen to get the max 3,000 per day. I've noticed you can trade 5 gems for 30, but that might only be a once per day thing. If it looks like I'm not going to make the 3,000, then that'll be a worthy exchange to make every day.
I'm glad this update has given a few more uses to all the surplus gems (while also providing hundreds of free ones!!)
PS. Can someone please test what happens when you breed a Solstice + Solstice together?
Or Blue Moon + Blue Moon?
Would greatly appreciate it!!
Not sure about that, but I just bred two Loves together and got a 48 minute.
I hardly have any limited eggs but lots of pairs of limited dragons. Now it seems I won't be able to make those eggs after all. Had I known that I would have rather done one dragon and one egg. Totally bummed.
I think it is only temporary - read the words on the BFS site carefully.
But I want to do if I can fill some additional large Sun or Moon habitats but don't want to risk getting the wrong dragons!
Hence if anyone can test the result of Solstice + Solstice it would be greatly appreciated!
Just ran a bunch of the 30 second treats. Received 30, 17, 9 and 5, though not one after the other, there were a few with no magic. I can't quite remember if I only received 2x30 magic rewards earlier, or 3 which would put me over the 6 max attempts for the day.
But, it seems like generally speaking the rewards are going down until a bit of time has passed BUT you don't get the rewards every time. So if we work out that an hour is enough, you should grow a Beanstalk, and if you don't receive a reward for it run some 30 seconders until you do. Then grow beanstalks again.
My upgraded Dark Reward Habitat is 958/5600 My Upgraded Light Reward Habitat is 414/5600
This should do it. If we can see if anyone can get to a combined 3000 and not be able to earn any more in a 24 hour period that should tell us what's going on.
Also, my magic has reset once already. I'm not sure why, but I went down to "Magic will reset in 23 hours" and then it went back to "Magic will reset in 24 hours" and I got max magic for my actions. So maybe it will be slightly more than the 3000 before it caps out ... assuming it does cap at 3000 for a 24 hour period.
I don't have a test account, but would be very interested to see the test results for this!
Looks like I'll be suspending any breeding until the dust settles...
I only just got my opal egg as well so all subsequent breeding was going to be purely for profit.
Not sure what I am going to breed now - seems pointless to breed magnetics and risk coppers, and it seems clear that I won't be able to breed and blue moons or solstices any time soon to fill up a few more large sun/moon habitats...
My guess is a dragon that can be made from the ordinary elements you needed to breed a blue moon in the first place. Cold + Lightning, I think, so Storm or Hail?

Doh! I just realized this means the idea about mini timers may not be right
The timer on my magic was down to 21 hours @ 6pm
When I logged back on at 9pm, it was back up to 24 hours and I was getting max magic for things again.
Has this been applied yet? Just fed a dragon but didn't receive any exp.
If there has been some minor update, it would explain why the timer on the magic thingo has been reset to 24 hours.
Probably teething problems of introducing it - I suspect it will work correctly with 24 hour cycles and mini cycles during the day. This would promote the most active playing style, so would seem like a smart thing to do.
I still want to get my max 3,000 every day. Seems like a lot though.
Can't wait to see all the different ways you can earn it so I can make sure I get my max of 3,000 per day.
Before we read too much into the reset magic timer and how that impacts the alleged mini-timers, maybe they forced a reset early so that the leveling could resume. Or more accurately, they did something so leveling could resume, and that reset the timer. The last time they raised the cap, as I recall the first time the Coliseum came due after that, those of us who had been maxed didn't get any EXP for it, but thereafter it recorded normally. This might be something similar.

Good guess.
I got an 8 hour timer - so you are probably right. We'll see what it is in a little while.
stinks that I can't breed any more Solstices or Blue Moons for now. But my Hibernation Cave is already full anyway... haha

Pretty sure that XP flows if you are maxed or not. Green numbers on the screen when perform any action. They only zero it for the colosseum and race track, so nothing to be changed or applied.
Just got XP and 2 lots of 20x magic for clearing a couple of trees off the new island.

I believe you and PJ are right. Rules 524 heralded the release of the Magic, and we are currently on Rules 527 with the Level 50. That possibly reset the timer.
A quick reminder to everyone you will get 0XP for the Colosseum event that is running right now. The rewards were set the instant you hit compete. Please don't post tomorrow that something is broken because you didn't receive any XP when you won Gold.
(Idea for new forum drinking game - everyone has to a do a shot when someone posts that they didn't get any XP from the colosseum ...)
Once you buy the 150+Upgrade, you get two new options.
You can buy 150 Magic, but without the free upgrade.
And you can also buy 1000 Magic.
I stand corrected... It appears that a recent update has removed the 1000 Magic purchase from my Market... I suspect it will return once I manage to upgrade my habitats further.
Do we know how much magic is needed for us to get the light/dark dragons. I am wondering how long this will take. If it goes really fast, we might not earn the rewards.
I love my vine dragon avatar created by ElektronX. Now, if only BFS would add it to the game...
