Tempering it out alone in the 7-limit leads to the [[sensamagic]] temperament, where 5/3 is split into two equal parts, each representing 9/7~[[35/27]], and may be extended to represent higher-limit ratios like [[13/10]], [[22/17]], etc. It enables [[sensamagic chords]]. See [[sensamagic family]] for the rank-3 temperament family where it is tempered out. See [[sensamagic clan]] for the rank-2 clan where it is tempered out

== Etymology ==
The sensamagic comma was named by [[Gene Ward Smith]] in 2010<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_88759.html ''Some unnamed 7-limit temperaments'']</ref>. Before that, it was sometimes known as the ''octarod'' comma.
: ''Here's a thought: 245/243 tells us that two 9/7['s] make up a 5/3. Hence, the temperaments which most exploit this and for which the comma is most characteristic are the ones where 9/7 has a low complexity. And this means sensi (complexity 1) and magic (complexity 2). So my proposal "sensamagic" is the way to go by this reasoning, which strikes me as pretty strong.''
—Gene Ward Smith
