The '''sensamagic''' temperament is the rank-3 temperament tempering out [[245/243]], the sensamagic comma. It has a canonical 11-limit extension adding [[385/384]] and [[896/891]] to the comma list.

'''Sensamagic''' is a [[rank-3 temperament|rank-3]] [[regular temperament|temperament]] with the same [[lattice]] structure as the [[2.3.7 subgroup]], while identifying the [[5/3]] major sixth as a stack of two [[9/7]] supermajor thirds, [[tempering out]] [[245/243]]. It is the head of the [[sensamagic family]].
 
It favors a sharp supermajor third, and subtracting such a third from a [[4/3|perfect fourth]] produces a narrow subminor second of [[28/27]][[~]][[36/35]]. The canonical [[11-limit]] [[extension]] identifies this interval with [[33/32]], so that [[11/8]] is that plus a perfect fourth. This adds [[385/384]] and [[896/891]] to the comma list and makes it a member of both [[keenanismic temperaments]] and [[pentacircle clan]].
 
The temperament was named after the corresponding comma, which was named by [[Gene Ward Smith]] in 2010. See [[245/243 #Etymology]].

Sensamagic can be notated the same as 2.3.7 [[just intonation]] since they share the same lattice structure.  
Sensamagic can be notated the same as 2.3.7 [[just intonation]] since they share the same lattice structure. One way to do this is to take the conventional [[circle-of-fifths notation]] with an additional module of accidentals for the [[64/63]] comma. In this system, 7/4 is a minor seventh, 5/4 an augmented second, and 11/8 a diminished fifth.

== Chords ==
Alternatively, it can be notated the same as full prime-limit just intonation, with a distinct accidental module for each prime harmonic. That makes some intervals more intuitive, at the cost of hiding the structure of sensamagic tempering. For example, it is customary of the 5/4 to be a major third, and 7/4 to be a minor seventh. As a result, the fact that the 5/3 is a stack of two 9/7's is not revealed, and the related chords can be less convenient.

== Chords and harmony ==
Sensamagic enables [[essentially tempered chord]]s of [[Sensamagic chords|sensamagic]], [[Keenanismic chords|keenanismic]], [[Pentacircle chords|pentacircle]], and [[Undecimal sensamagic chords|undecimal sensamagic]].
 
The [[sensamagic dominant chord]] is a dominant seventh chord useful for tonal harmony in this temperament.
