Is it yarn?
'it is my power to amaze' made me think of spinning a good yarn to mean telling a story, and I believe you can throw yarn as a knitting style

Also no - doesn't fit so much with the launch of orbs bit, or indeed

the owl related clue which you already got.
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

This is either a crazy guess or a genius one.

Is it bowl?

Jubal

You are correct! :)

Full notes would be:

Spoiler
I am the giver of sweetness before the wise moon's daughter:
Bee + Owl
Throw me once and I am here, throw me twice and I am gone.
You "throw" things that you make on a potter's wheel. If you throw the bowl a second time, it breaks
You entrust to me that which you need to survive,
Then with cold steel take it swift anon.
You put food in a bowl, then use cutlery to eat it
I likewise am the launch of orbs to flight in summer haze,
Bowling in cricket, rounders, etc
And when I am over, 'tis my power to amaze.
Bowled over!

So, your turn to give us a riddle, I think :) I'll try not to make it a three-years-to-solve difficulty level next time I have to write one...
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

ooh congrats! I was a little bit stumped. (accidental cricket pun)
