Magic is contributed to the Tines of the Scar to unlock dragons on the Rift Island. The form of the first Rift Dragon released depended on which element (Light or Dark) the player casts the Magic into during the Light Magic and Dark Magic Events.
The amount of Magic received for an action decreases as the action is repeated within the same day.
A player can earn up to approximately 3000 Magic in a 24 hour period; the amount of time left before that resets can be seen at the Tines of the Scar.
Up to 7,000 Magic can be stored at a time.
Magic can be purchased in the treasure section of the market.
Backflip Studios posted on their DragonVale Facebook page that "the communities effort toward either Light or Dark will become visible on the Tines of the Scar as more and more people contribute. How long this takes to visibly show is up to the community."
As more Magic is cast towards an element, the number of markers on the magic gauge on the Tines of the Scar on that particular element's side increases.
What is Magic?
Magic is used to power up the Light Vestige and Dark Remnant to turn them into different reward habitats.
Using Magic helps build on the Rift Island where the Tines of the Scar, Rift Egg Edifice, Dark Remnant, and Light Vestige are located.
The Magic meter can reach 7,000 before it stops storing and some of the magic has to be used to accumulate more magic.
Stored Magic can be cast as light magic or dark magic.
