'''Magic''' is a [[linear temperament]] in which the ~380 cent [[generator]] represents [[5/4]], and five of those make a [[3/1]]. This implies that the [[magic comma]] [[3125/3072]] is [[tempering out|tempered out]], making it a member of the [[magic family]]. This article also assumes the default mapping for the prime 7, which tempers out [[225/224]] and makes two generators equivalent to [[14/9]]. [[7/4]] can be reached by 12 generators in this mapping. (There is an alternative mapping for 7 known as [[muggles]], which may be better melodically for small [[mos scale]]s due to the smaller generator making the small step a bit larger, but there is little reason to use it unless you are using [[19edo]], in which case it is identical to magic anyway.)

Magic has certain properties that commend it as a step up in complexity from traditional harmony:
* It is the simplest mapping capable of tuning every [[9-odd-limit]] interval better than in [[12edo]].
* It is the simplest mapping capable of tuning every [[9-odd-limit]] interval better than in [[12edo]].
* It is only slightly more complex than meantone (both work well with a 19 note gamut).
* It is only slightly more complex than [[septimal meantone]] (both work well with a 19-note gamut).
* 5-limit intervals are simpler than other 7-limit intervals.
* 5-limit intervals are generally simpler than 7-limit intervals.

It is not a panacea because:
* It has no proper mos scales with between 3 and 16 notes over a single period per octave.
* It has no [[Rothenberg propriety|proper]] mos scales with between 3 and 16 notes over a single period per octave.
* It is more complex than meantone (higher complexity and badness).
* It is more complex than meantone (higher [[complexity]] and [[badness]]).
* The 3/2 approximation is 5 times as complex as the 5/4 approximation (the generator) so modulation by fifths is more constrained than you may be used to.
* The 3/2 approximation is 5 times as complex as the 5/4 approximation (the generator) so modulation by fifths is more constrained than you may be used to.
Because the generator is so close to 1/3 of an octave, and the interval left over is accordingly so small, all small magic mos scales consist of three large intervals alternating with three groups of this small interval. Specifically, there are the following scales, where s always represents the characteristic small interval, which simultaneously represents [[128/125]], [[36/35]], [[28/27]], and [[25/24]].
* [[3L 4s]]: LsLsLss, where L represents 6/5
* [[3L 7s]]: LssLssLsss, where L represents 7/6
* [[3L 10s]]: LsssLsssLssss, where L represents 9/8
* [[3L 13s]]: LssssLssssLsssss, where L is a neutral second, which can be taken to represent 12/11 (in magic temperament) or 11/10 (in the related [[telepathy]] temperament). In 22edo they are identical.

The fundamental otonal consonance of magic, voiced in a roughly {{w|tertian harmony|tertian}} manner, is 4:5:6:7:9, available in a 13-tone mos. To start with, consider the the just major triad (1–5/4–3/2) and just minor triad (1–6/5–3/2). In terms of generator steps, they are 0–1–5 and 0–4–5; this is similar, but also in clear contrast to the 0–4–1 and 0–(−3)–1 of [[meantone]]. Two approaches to functional harmony thus arise.
