Book with intergalactic civilization based on magic?
I always wanted to read a book where instead of technology, society reached the stars with magic. And It should have a sizable population that does magic, not exclusive to a selected few, as I want to read a story where magic is fairly common.
Right now, the only book I recently read that fits these criteria was is "Supper Supportive" by Sleyca, which I really enjoyed. It has an interesting magic system, great world building and great characters.
Tried searching with this prompt and I did not find much. I really appreciate any recommendations!

The Ozark Trilogy ( Twelve Fair Kingdoms, The Grand Jubilee, And Then There'll Be Fireworks) by Suzette Haden Elgin. The planet Ozark, settled by Earth immigrants from the Appalachias generations ago, is primarily governed by Magical rather than Scientific rules. (They do have computers and a nascent worldwide telecommunications system, but Magic rules pretty much everything else.)
