A '''magical seventh''' is an [[11-limit]] [[essentially tempered dyadic chord]] consisting of three sharp [[6/5|minor thirds]] and an [[8/7]], in other words a 6/5-6/5-6/5-8/7 chord, which closes at the [[octave]] since both [[100/99]] and [[385/384]] (and therefore [[875/864]]) are [[Tempering out|tempered out]]. This means that in the 11-limit 4&7&15 [[Planar temperaments|planar temperament]] tempering these out, the chord is the tempering of 1-6/5-16/11-7/4.
A '''magical seventh''' is an [[11-limit]] [[essentially tempered dyadic chord]] consisting of three sharp [[6/5|classical minor thirds]] and a [[8/7|septimal whole tone]], which closes at the [[octave]] since both [[100/99]] and [[385/384]] (and therefore [[875/864]]) are [[tempering out|tempered out]]. This means that in the 11-limit [[supermagic]] [[planar temperament]] tempering these out, the chord is the tempering of  
* 1–6/5–16/11–7/4, with steps 6/5, 6/5, 6/5, 8/7.  


In an optimized tuning for the 4&7&15 temperament, the [[marvel]] comma [[225/224]] shrinks in size and may reverse direction, and adding it to the list of commas does little tuning [[damage]]; this results in 11-limit [[magic]] temperament, which has the same [[optimal patent val]] ([[104edo]]). Hence [[magic]] (19&22) temperament is practically the most accurate temperament that include this chord. Magic, however, does give it a [[Graham complexity]] of 12, so it doesn't appear that often.

Other temperaments that feature this chord prominently include 11-limit [[keemun]], [[superkleismic]], [[porcupine]] and [[doublewide]].
