That makes perfect sense for conjury and thaumaturgy, but the question that often bugged me is why would arcanists need to think of the arcane geometries that are already written in their books? Open your eyes and look at the damn book no?

Ain't got time to be flipping through the glossary/table of contents! So I'd say they'd have to conjure up the image in their minds, which then activates from the runes in the book from the appropriate page. And seeing how the geometries are distinct and probably precise, memorization through studying.
