81/65, the quasimagical major third, is a 13-limit major third measuring about 381 cents. It is the interval between 9/5 and 13/9, and differs from 5/4 by the comma 325/324, the marveltwin comma. It is notable for approximating the major third found in magic temperament, where five such major thirds stack to 3/1. It is a more accurate approximation of this generator than 5/4 is, and being no-twos, appears in tritave-based systems as 1\5edt as well.
