I've one idea as to what evolutionary pressure could feasibly generate such eyes, primarily because even with magic, early precursor species would've more then likely be killed easily simple due to how large the occipital cavities would be, but it fails to account for the rest of the species outside of Ponies.
Field of veiw, as that would greatly benefit the majority since predators like Dragons exist, thought this is hinged on their eyes operating much like a fisheye lens rather then how human eyes do.
It also fails to account for the species who possess magic but lack use of it outside of subconcious means, as Griffons are one of the few species to have wings potentially capable of lifting their bodies sans magic.
I feel as though Chrysalism throne may very well operate on a principle more akin to radio jamming rather then magnetism, which would treat Magic more akin to radiation with controllable effects on atomic systems, albeit not as we understand the concept. As I lack a degree in physics going deeper into detail would prove cumbersome or outright wrong.
Add to that magnetism as a base theory fails to account how two entites charged in the same manner might be able to affect one another instead of simply repelling each other, failing to make contact without a shield, or forcing impossible to contain amounts of power into organic vessels to catastrophic results.
For a magnetic system to operate at this scale, one would have to be generating power akin to supernova's to generate such effects, sustaining them and not being torn apart by them simply isn't possible on the scale of an organic entity lest it be larger then a significant majority of objects in our solar system.
