In-setting, they are actually an exotic style of magic. Ordinary mages use spell-specific magical components, not omni-purpose power stones.

That's a tremendously powerful item, but it's not all that flavourful. Useful, yes, but rather bland. In any event, bows and arrows were an infantryman's weapon and thus fairly common and uninteresting in most of the nearby cultures until just a generation or two ago, when mounted archers became fashionable. Even so, very few people are capable mounted archers.
The Sheikh and a few of his men were, but any ancient and powerful weapons they'd have looted from tombs are much more likely to be spears, javelins, swords, axes and maces than they are to be bows and arrows. And while Abu Jafar and Al-Warrakh could certainly have crafted bows and arrows for their master, neither of them was such a master of meta-magic that he could easily have crafted such a Cornucopia Quiver without taking an unreasonably long time to do so.
Better craft something less versatile that can be turned out more quickly, I should think.

Gem magic is practised in this part of the world, so I could see that.
