Below are listed the [[11-odd-limit]] [[dyadic chord]]s of [[11-limit]] [[magic|magic temperament]]. Typing the chords requires consideration of the fact that magic conflates [[10/9]] and [[11/10]] and so also [[9/5]] and [[20/11]]. If a [[transversal]] can be found which shows the chord to be essentially just, that transversal is listed along with a typing as otonal, utonal, or ambitonal. If the chord is essentially tempered, it is analyzed in terms of the transversal which employs 10/9 and 9/5.
Below is a complete list of the [[11-odd-limit]] [[dyadic chord]]s of [[11-limit]] [[magic|magic temperament]]. Note that there are many common chords, for example [[8:10:12:15]], which are not listed; in this case due to [[15/8]] not being in the 11-odd-limit. Every chord listed has multiple [[chord #Inversion|inversions]]; only one is listed, that being the inversion where all notes are a nonnegative number of major third [[generator]]s above the root.


Chords requiring tempering only by [[225/224]] are labeled [[marvel chords|marvel]], by [[245/243]] [[sensamagic chords|sensamagic]], by [[100/99]] [[ptolemismic chords|ptolemismic]], by [[896/891]] [[pentacircle chords|pentacircle]], by [[385/384]] [[keenanismic chords|keenanismic]], and by [[540/539]] [[swetismic chords|swetismic]]. Those requiring any two of 225/224, 100/99 or 896/891 are labeled apollo, any two of 100/99, 245/243 or 540/539 octarod, any two of 245/243, 896/891 or 385/384 [[undecimal sensamagic chords|sensamagic11]], any two of 225/224, 385/384, or 540/539 [[undecimal marvel chords|unimarvel]]. Chords requiring both 100/99 and 385/384 are labeled [[keemic chords|keemic]]. Finally, anything requiring three independent commas among those discussed above is labeled [[magic chords|magic]].
Typing the chords requires consideration of the fact that magic conflates [[10/9]] and [[11/10]] and so also [[9/5]] and [[20/11]]. If a [[transversal]] can be found which shows the chord to be essentially just, that transversal is listed along with a typing as [[otonal]], [[utonal]], or [[ambitonal]]. If the chord is essentially tempered, it is analyzed in terms of the transversal that requires the minimum amount of commas to be tempered out; if there is a tie between multiple transversals, it is analyzed in terms of the transversal which employs 10/9 and 9/5.


Magic has [[mos scale]]s of sizes 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, and 22 notes. It may be seen that even the seven-note mos is not without a few harmonic resources, and the larger ones do much better.

[[Kite Giedraitis]] has named the chords using arrows (ups and downs), as described in [[Kite's thoughts on pergens]]. The pergen is (P8, P12/5) fifth-of-a-twelfth, #37 in the [http://tallkite.com/misc_files/notation%20guide%20for%20rank-2%20pergens.pdf list of pergens]. One up is 19 generators, octave-reduced. The generator is {{nowrap| vM3 {{=}} 380{{c}} + ''c''/5 }}, where ''c'' is the amount in cents the tempered fifth exceeds 700{{c}}. The [[Kite's thoughts on enharmonic unisons in ups and downs notation|enharmonic unison]] is ^<sup>5</sup>dd2, thus {{nowrap|^<sup>5</sup>C {{=}} Bx}}. To simplify the chord names, slashes (lifts and drops) are also used. One lift is -22 generators, octave-reduced. Thus {{nowrap|/1 {{=}} −25''G'' + 3''G'' {{=}} m2 + ^^d8 {{=}} ^^d2}}. Thus a lift equals two ups minus a tempered pythagorean comma, so {{nowrap| /C {{=}} ^^Dbb }}, {{nowrap| \C {{=}} vvB# }}, {{nowrap| ^^C {{=}} /B# }}, and {{nowrap| vvC {{=}} \Dbb }}. The cents values of sharps, ups and lifts vary greatly, as this table shows. Note that if the fifth is wider than 22edo's fifth, a lift will actually be descending. Furthermore, if the fifth is narrower than 19edo's, an up will be descending.
