This is pretty much the only way that cash shop mounts could end up being companions without causing the torches and pitchforks to come out. They could even be named differently as well, just so long as the abilities themselves perfectly mimic the abilities of a common or uncommon companion mount, like the Company Chocobo or, in the case of Sleipnir, the Unicorn from the CNJ questline.

I think it's a fun idea, largely because I really want to make a companion out of my magitek armor.
