'''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.

=== Functional harmony ===
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.
{{See also| Functional harmony in rank-2 temperaments }}


In terms of generator steps, the just major triad (1–5/4–3/2) and just minor triad (1–6/5–3/2) 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.  
First, we can use the triads above as the basis of harmony, but swapping the roles of 3 and 5 according to their temperamental complexities (number of generator steps). Thus a "dominant" chord is 5/4 over tonic; a "subdominant" chord is 5/4 under tonic. This leads to an approach closely adherent to mos scales. The 7-tone mos contains a tonic and a "dominant" chord. The 10-tone mos is good for encapsulating tonic, "pre-dominant", and "dominant" functions. The suspended chord of meantone is made of two generators stacked, and doing the same in magic, we also have the augmented triad (1–5/4–14/9) as the magic analog of the suspended chord of meantone.  


First, we suggest using the triads above as the basis of harmony, but swapping the roles of 3 and 5 according to their temperamental complexities (number of generator steps).

The 10-tone mos is good for encapsulating tonic, "pre-dominant", and "dominant" functions. We also have the augmented triad (1–5/4–14/9) as the magic analog of the suspended chord of meantone.  
Second, we can use the same triads as the basis of harmony, and keeping the role of the [[chain of fifths]] as the spine on which the functions are defined. This means dominant is still 3/2 over tonic, for example. A consequence is we must step out of the logic of mos scales, as they are often too restrictive without the many fifths to stack. This is essentially working in JI, but using the commas tempered out in some way to lock into the identity of the temperament.


Second, we suggest using the same triads as the basis of harmony, and keeping the roles of 3 and 5 as in meantone. This means dominant is still 3/2 over tonic, for example. A consequence is we must step out of the logic of mos scales, as they are often too restrictive without the many fifths to stack. Try starting unlimited and thinking directly about ratios and comma pumps. You might end up with a diatonic-like scale with comma-level inflections here and there, but it is also possible to slap whatever scale you like, using inflections to reach the ratios.
