225/224 is the [[marvel family|marvel]] comma. Because the augmented triad is the simplest triad in magic temperaments, it is especially significant in magic temperament. 245/243, the [[sensamagic family|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. 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.
By adding [[100/99]] and [[105/104]] to the list of commas, magic can be extended to the 11-limit and 13-limit. 11-limit magic 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. 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. For the 13-limit, 41edo makes for a recommendable tuning.

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.)
