Madrigal with Hot Magic

Madrigal with Hot Magic ("variation on a theme" based on Madrigal by Fafrd)
Instructions:
Draw nine non-overlapping 3x3 boxes, and place Magic Squares containing the digits 1-9 in each box (a Magic Square has digits in each column, row, and diagonal within each box that sums to the same total).
Digits cannot repeat in a row or column across the grid. Cells outside the boxes should remain empty.
Digits along thermometers must rise from the bulb end (and all thermometer cells must have digits).
NOTE: This puzzle is 100% attributed to the original author Fafrd. I watched the solve of his puzzle Madrigal on "Cracking The Cryptic" and my first thought was "
that solution path would work with Magic Squares as well!" This is (hopefully) just a fun variation on the same theme.
