Magic family

The magic family of temperaments tempers out 3125/3072, the small diesis or magic comma. The septimal version of magic is locally optimal, for some searches, in the 9-odd-limit. Magic has a slightly higher complexity than meantone but it is closer to just intonation. It is the simplest rank-2 temperament that tunes every 9-odd-limit interval better than is possible in 12edo. The most prominent deficiency is that it lacks proper or nearly-proper mos scales in the 5- to 10-note region. Properties may depend on tuning and extension.

Magic

Main article: Magic

The generator of magic is a major third, and to get to the interval class of fifths requires five of these. In fact, (5/4)⁵ = 3 × 3125/3072. 13\41 is a highly recommendable generator, though 19\60, the optimal patent val generator, also makes a lot of sense, and using 19edo or 22edo is always possible.

Overview to extensions

Apart from magic, we also consider other extensions. The second comma of the normal comma list defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at. 875/864, the keemic comma, gives septimal magic, and 525/512, Avicenna's enharmonic diesis, gives his annoying brother muggles. Both use the major third as a generator, as well as low-accuracy extensions including darkstone and brightstone.

Weak extensions considered below are hocum, trismegistus, quadrimage, quinmage and warlock. Discussed elsewhere are

• Astrology → Jubilismic clan
• Spell → Hemimean clan

Septimal magic

Main article: Magic

Septimal magic tempers out not only 3125/3072 and 875/864, but also 225/224, 245/243, and 10976/10935. 41edo is a good magic tuning, and 19- or 22-note mosses are possible scales. Five major thirds approximate 3/1. Twelve major thirds, less an octave, approximate 7/1.

This temperament, with its accurate fifths, works well with 9-odd-limit harmony. It is more accurate than meantone and simpler than garibaldi. It is a little tricky to work with because its fifths are a relatively complex interval and it does not naturally work with scales of around seven notes to the octave.

225/224 is the marvel comma. Because the augmented triad is the simplest triad in magic temperaments, it is especially significant in magic temperament. 245/243, the sensamagic comma, leads to another essentially tempered 9-odd-limit triad with two thirds approximating 9/7 and the other 6/5. It also divides the approximate 3/2 into two steps of 7/6 and one of 10/9.

By adding 100/99 to the list of commas, magic can be extended to an 11-limit version, ⟨⟨ 5 1 12 -8 … ]]. For this, 104edo provides an excellent tuning, as it does also for the rank-3 temperaments tempering out 100/99 with 225/224, 245/243 or 875/864. Septimage (see below) is also an excellent 11-limit magic tuning.

11-limit

Tempering out 100/99 allows for a tritone substitution where the extended 5-limit tuning of a dominant seventh with a 9/5 above the root shares its tritone with an 8:10:11:12:16 chord rooted on the seventh of the original chord. (The tritone of the dominant seventh is (9/5)/(5/4) = 36/25. (16/11)/(36/25) = 100/99.)

Muggles

Main article: Muggles

Aside from 3125/3072 and 525/512 muggles also tempers out 126/125 and 1323/1280. A good muggles tuning is 19edo, in which tuning it is the same thing as magic. Muggles works better for small scales than magic in the sense that 7- or 10-note mosses are reasonable choices, as while the flatter generator compromises the accuracy of the 5-limit intervals, it grants simpler access to some higher-limit ones, and makes the small steps larger and more melodically effective.
