Using the generator of 13 steps of [[41edo|41-et]], if we take the shrutis for 10/9 to always be 222, and the srutis for 16/15 to always be 22, we are left to give three steps of size 2, and one of size 1, for the srutis given to 9/8. If we vary the pattern of doing this we can get Magic[22]: | ||

Magic is the 22&41 temperament; we can also concoct srutis out of shrutar, the 22&46 temperament. We now make each 9/8 a 2222 in [[46edo|46et]], and each 16/15 a 22. This leaves two 2 steps and a 3 step for 10/9, where we can vary the pattern.
