Awesome. Seriously. Kudos for getting all this info together, and for Coatleque for the extra bit of info!
Magic is a tricky topic to cover because, as you said, everyone rolls it differently. But! I will add a tiny bit about a magic user's arms, from how they're described in game/item descriptions ect. (as we obviously have nothing in RL to equate them with.)
: A Conjurers' wand or cane is typically made of unworked wood to focus the aether from their surroundings in order to cast their desired spell. I assume this is because wood is from nature and Conjury draws from nature (or the elemental forces therein.)
: An Arcanists' grimoire contains arcane symbols and geometries (sp?), which are used to give shape to an Arcanists' aether. It's literally magic by math. These symbols also used to unlock the power within gemstones, allowing an Arcanist to summon familiars (Carbuncle ect.) I read somewhere that the ink within a grimoire has a magical property - which would make sense - but I can't remember where I read it so take that as you will.
: A Thaumaturges' staff or scepter houses a natural stone with inherent magical properties which acts as a medium, thus allowing the Thaumaturge to channel their own aether into a spell through the selfsame medium.
That's probably about as detailed as I can make it without stepping on people's toes, but I figured it may as well be added.
