The way that world works, sure - but it requires a tremendous force of will to get any notable result, and most of the common people of Cephiro just aren't that strong or that motivated. That's part of what makes Utena so exceptional:

>explains something of how Utena invokes Dios in her duels.

... she's a regular person, in the sense that she wasn't born to power - she acquired it by having such strength and nobility (to use Dios's phrase) that it came to her. That's more or less the same process that the Magic Knights undergo in MKR, except without even the little kick-start from Clef at the beginning.

If she'd had that advantage, yow. :)
