The most prominent deficiency of magic temperaments is that they lack [[Rothenberg propriety|proper]] or nearly-proper MOS scales in the 5 to 10 note "diatonic" region.

The 5-limit parent comma for the magic family is [[3125/3072]], the small diesis or magic comma. Its monzo is {{monzo| -10 -1 5 }}, and flipping that yields {{multival| 5 1 -10 }} for the [[wedgie]]. This tells us the generator is a major third, and that to get to the interval class of fifths will require five of these. In fact, (5/4)<sup>5</sup> = 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|19EDO]] or [[22edo|22EDO]] is always possible.

The second comma of the [[Normal lists #Normal interval list|normal comma list]] defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at. [[875/864]], the keemic comma, gives magic, and [[525/512]], Avicenna's enharmonic diesis, gives his annoying brother muggles. Both use the major third as a generator.

Tempering 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.)

Aside from 3125/3072 and 525/512 muggles also tempers out [[126/125]] and 1323/1280. A good muggles tuning is [[19edo|19EDO]], in which tuning it's the same thing as magic. Muggles works better for small scales than magic in the sense that 7 or 10 note MOS are reasonable choices.
