Complete Magic

- Normal Sudoku rules apply
- Every 3x3 region is a semi-magic square (each row and column sum to the same number)
- Digits seperated by a white dot are consecutive. Digits seperated by a black dot have a ratio of 1:2
Solution code: Column 3 and column 7

Is there a semi magic square with a 5 in the center that is not real magic?

changed rule description to use the term 'semi-magic square'

modification to the ruiles needed...
central square is indeed a magic square, the rest are not (but have equal sum rows/columns)

It is not magic square.

It's a good puzzle, but I just want to say one thing: if the sum of the rows and columns of a square is equal, but the diagonal lines are not equal, then it can only be called a "quasi-magic square" rather than a real magic square. In this Sudoku, only the center box is a real magic square, and the others are only quasi-magic squares (because the center of the real magic square can only be 5). I hope to correct this in the description.
