Welcome to the future of a magical Simville... Or is it the past of a magical... Wait...
Right so here is the thing - even if you don't read the fan sites, or the official game site for FreePlay, you cannot help but Notice the news announcement that appeared in the game, or the presence of a new building site situated near the base of the Dam on the river, right? Right!
That new building site is an intimate little affair for the newest building and lifestyle in the world of The Sims: FreePlay. Not only that, but it also includes a new and exciting Hobby for Teens, and Adult Sims (Preteens and Senior Sims need not apply) that is called Broomstick Flying - and is exactly what it sounds like!
Considering how persuasive and invasive Harry Potter was to the world is it really all that much of a surprise that magic has made it into Simville? Really? Well, it has!

The Sorcerous Supplies
When the new building site appeared in your game (it requires Level 8 and above) you will have spotted it situated at the foot of the dam on the north shore of the river, and when you tap on it you may be very pleased and shocked to see that unlike the other new buildings sites that have been added to the game over the past six months, this one has NO attachment to the Life Dreams & Legacy Quest at the outset.
What does that mean?
Well, if you are like us, and you are working very hard to complete all of the Career and Hobby Mastery prior to engaging and enabling the Sims Aging System, this is good news indeed. While we have been working diligently to accomplish all that can be accomplished in terms of Career and Hobby Mastery it is rather nice to have something new to add to the mixture, particularly something that offers a new hobby to you for your Sims that currently lack one.
With our town here at SuperCheats at Level 35 and thus our Sim Count for Population at 25/25 we cannot look to be adding a new Sim until we reach Level 36 - so having something new to help that process along is also a welcome Event!
A simple tap on the building site below the dam reveals lots of information:
Building Name: Sorcerous Supplies
Town Value Boost: + $300,000
Construction Timer: 2 Days, 18 Hours
Construction Costs: $350,000
Sim Population Required: 16 Sims
Build the Sorcerous Supplies store to gain access to:
So yeah, not one but TWO new hobbies! And how freaking cool is that?!
Very very very cool, that is how cool! Or as our French Simmers would say, Trรจs cool! Our Spanish Simmers would say Muy cool! And our German Simmers would say: Wir denken, dies ist eigentlich sehr cool, aber wir dรผrfen nicht mehr als zu reagieren, denn das wรคre peinlich gesehen werden. Aber wir denken, dass es sehr schรถn ist.
Darn those Germans!
Way back when we realized that there was likely to be a string of builds coming soon we started to save up our money, particularly9 the $45K daily we received via the mail box, and now we are glad that we did, sicne the cost of this building only dents our treasury. Of course now we have to wait out the 2 days and 18 hours of the build timer. Sigh.

Once you complete building the store you flag The Book of Spells Quest, which unlocks at Level 8 and after you have built the store. Completing that process (details below) will unlock the Spell Casting Hobby, and the next special quest...
LIMITED TIME: A Pet Dragon!
Once you activate this Quest as long as you complete it within Seven (7) Days from its flagging and start, you get yourself a Pet Dragon. Very cool! Very cool indeed!
You have seven days to complete this Quest and thus get yourself a Pet dragon as part of the reward.
Don't worry though, even if you can't manage to get it done in the 7 days you are given you can still complete the Quest - you just donโt win the prize... Personally the prizes for this part of the game are actually (at least to us) worth having, so it is certainly worth making the effort.
The Quest - Part I
What you need to do is explore the house, and tap different Objects - like the Painting - to search for clues. The clues will reveal the object that you need to look at / the choice you need to make. So search them :)
After the Magic Want Podium is placed in your House
Complete within the slotted timer and you win a Pet Dragon! The pet Dragon is found in the Pet Store (naturally) and is available for different prices depending on Dragon quality...
I donโt know if it is really worth it to buy the more expensive ones - that is really your call... I mean a Dragon is a Dragon, right? And how do you put a price on Dragon friendship?!
Note that when you buy a Dragon from The Pet Shop it is the same situation that Hagrid faced when he obtained his Dragon from a bloke at the Three Broomsticks - that is to say you get a Dragon Egg, not an actual Dragon. So you get an Egg and you need to hatch it. Depending upon the stars the timer can be long...

Spell Casting Hobby Collection Quest
As is consistent with the basic Game Play mechanics for FreePlay, new and added content is added to the game with the opportunity for you to earn special Pets or Objects - as long as you get her done within the time limit...
LIMITED TIME: Get Yourself an Imperial Barn Owl!
If you finish it within the Seven (7) Days from its flagging and start, you get yourself an Imperial Barn Owl!
You have seven days to complete this Quest and get yourself a Pet dragon as part of the reward. Don't worry though, even if you can't manage to get it done in the 7 days you are given you can still complete the quest - you just donโt win the prize...
Strategy-wise this works pretty much the same as the other hobbies in that you are best served using the shortest timer for it. For most of the other hobbies that is like a 10m timer, but for Spell Casting the short cast is actually the "Quick Spell" task, which takes 2h 30m to complete - so for this stage in the game and for this Quest you are going to need to play in two-and-a-half or three hour gaps.
Also remember that you will certainly have to repeat that spell over and over - and over - to get a new object for the collection once you get to the higher level ones - and of course you must GET to a higher level in order to unlock and obtain them. Hey, no joke, this is a lot of hard work!
The Collection consists of four lines of three Objects in each line, each of which pays an increasing reward. The objects are, by level:
The actual collection structure is in four lines, with increasing rewards consisting of the following:
If you complete this Quest in the time allotted you win a free Imperial Barn Owl, which normally costs you 15 LP. Note that unlike the Dragon, which you know, is a major Pet, the Imperial Barn Owl is more like a fish or a rabbit, so you will find them in the pet section of the buy and build store at home. Just saying...

New Hobbies
Oddly while the Broomstick Flying Hobby does already appear in the hobbies list (when you tap on the Hobby Tab and then an individual hobby on the right-hand pop-up menu you see Broomstick Flying listed under the Teenager and Adult Tabs, but not the Spell Casting Collection.
We know that there IS a Spell Casting Collection - it is a major element of the special Quests above - but it is strange that it actually has to be unlocked to add it to the catalog when the Broomstick one does not...
Broomstick Flying - the Hobby Collection
As with most of the Hobby collections, Broomstick Flying has twelve (12) collectible Objects spread over four lines with three objects in each line.
The short task is called "Quick Broomstick Flight" and takes 4h 30m so you are likely to only get three or four goes in an average day....
These collection Objects are:
After the collection has been completed for the first time you can buy a Magic Broomstick Closet from the Sorcerous Supplies store. It costs $10,000 just so you know...
There are a number of prizes to be had for completing the above collection, from the Home Builder Kit to a magic mop that automagically cleans your home!
More to come....

It is very hard work completing the spell casting, I have nearly all of them just 2 left but I only have 13 hours left which isn't a lot compared to how long it takes to get just one new object! Advice for other players about to start this hobby, regularly check the game and I mean like every 2 and a half hours because it's a very long process and the time they give you to complete it and get an owl isn't actually a lot so dont waste it
I have been trying for almost a month to get all the collectables for the spell casting hobby to unlock the broomstick flying hobby but I cannot get the last two collectables and I can't restart the collectables what do I do
Is there any way to unlock to Dragon after the time limit is up?
Easy peasy.
Omg it's so hard to finish this quest because you only have 7 days and most parts take the whole day to finish! I think its really unfair!๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ญ is there any way I can get free crystals to speed the process up! Please help very soon because I only have 2 more days to complete the quest thanks!
If you miss the 7 day time limit can you still get an owl?
I deleted the house where my podium was and it is not in my inventory, store or wizards house. Can I find it to finish the mission? I really want to move on to the mall. Thank you
I can't cast a spell with the wand piom , when went back to the house
I can't find the crystal ball in the decorations inventory after purchasing it from the sorcery supply store...Is this a common glitch? How do I fix this?
Just watch tv
Where is the mummy?
How do I watch the emergency broadcast
I'm really struggling with this part of the sims, as I have gone and 'act casual' on a couch, and it's telling me I have to place the Magic Wand Podium? I've looked everywhere- it's not in my inventory or at the sorcerous supplies store! I'm really frustrated because I can't find it anywhere, but then when I go back to the Wizard's House it's still there! It won't let me interact with it or anything, so I am unsure what to do now?
You need to keep doing the story missions until the one you need for the build unlocks mate.
I need help with level 11 I have read everything about level 8 but I can build the child store because or sorcerous supplies in I really want to move on with this please help please
