We explore extensions of inelastic Dark Matter and Magnetic inelastic Dark Matter where the WIMP can scatter to a tower of heavier states. We assume a WIMP mass m(x) similar to O(1-100) GeV and a constant splitting between successive states delta similar to O (1-100) keV. For the spin-independent scattering scenario we find that the direct experiments CDMS and XENON strongly constrain most of the DAMA/LIBRA preferred parameter space, while for WIMPs that interact with nuclei via their magnetic moment a region of parameter space corresponding to m(x) similar to 11GeV and delta < 15ke Vis allowed by all the present direct detection constrain
