Also it can be amplified with individuals, the problem is its expensive so its more cost-effective to do in a group. That and I did say magic differs from race to race. Also with Equestrians you can literally invent a spell to do anything. The problem is for more complex spells the process takes longer, and if the spell requires to much energy it will kill you trying to preform it.

Who would you say to playing a faction, rather than a whole secular government? Like a galactically-renown mining company or mercenary army?

Sure
I think though that do to the nature of things it be difficult to do a faction based off/located in one of the currently empires due to the nature. If you need information on how you could do a faction with one of the currently accepted governments then ask the respective player, they might be able to give you some ideas how.
