i am going to say other thing too but i acidentally reply it.Carpenters have been doing small minute detail work for hundreds of years without any need for magic tools or modern tools. I'm sure that a carpenter with magic tools would be able to do stuff on the level of a carpenter with modern tools.
but at least in this story world building. The War has been so great that most of crops is just for food only and people just focus on suvive to tomorrow.
i think in state of war most craftmen would be gear only to constrution work. so put them on small detail work instantly is probably impossible and took to much time + cost to do so.
cause let just think of current state of the world as dark-age post-roman collaph. so many POV of this story (in novel) usaully have people say they go though hard time due to war/survive farmine and didn't even have time to focus on small thing like VC.
that and this is like a few year in when VC introduce new stuff, realisticly i think we need to give craftmen a time to learn how to produce thing at least.
Magic thing seem to be mostly in-universe elite snob. people who good at magic probably not gonna try to be a craftman. even more so for artwork.
later on i am pretty sure they have state that the situation of artist that would be great at art work is hard sideline due to war and need to be partonize by very few noble.
