Original Wikitext content:
A //magical seventh// is an 11-limit essentially tempered dyadic chord consisting of three sharp 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 tempered out. This means that in the 11-limit 4&7&15 planar temperament tempering these out, the chord is the tempering of 1-6/5-16/11-7/4. 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 while it by definition it merely requires the 4&7&15 temperament, it can for the most part be regarded as a chord of [[magic]] (19&22) temperament.
