I like and generally agree with the idea of geometry/magic circuits for arcanima. As a programmer, the idea of an arcanist's tome basically being a bunch of Magic ASM fits right in with my interests. If it worked like this, then I could rationalize casting without a tome as well, since it's fairly unlikely that a person would just be walking down the street thinking about how to program something extremely complex in some assembly language, rather than a higher-level language that allows for much more simplified keywords.
We know that the tomes contain the spells for arcanists to cast, so it could really be like a program, where the geometry is read and the arcanist compiles/executes it on a target. Just hope they never end up in an infinite loop or a stack overflow.
