This is pretty neat actually! It's not something I bring up in RP a lot because it's not something I've really thought on or fleshed out in my head. One of my characters is an incredibly amateur arcanist [after a fashion], and I've often wondered if one of my interpretations of arcanistry and the way geometries work might even be plausible.
I read somewhere on a wiki or something that arcanistry was basically brought out of the south seas somewhere, though I wonder if other forms might have been discovered elsewhere? Or if other forms aside from what I assume to be the traditional ink-and-grimoire approach have been developed? Could other mediums be marked or used to grand the same effect? Would free-drawing, something that would undoubtedly be a rather chaotic way to mark geometries, apply to these other mediums as well?
I am kind of glad that these sorts of things seem to be left open to interpretation, though I often worry I tread on things that might just simply be impossible at best, absurd at worst.
