Like others have said, there's a gemstone component to summoning Carbuncle specifically, but more generally arcanima is the use of enchanted ink to draw mystic geometric symbols which direct aether in certain ways. So there's a geometric design that causes aether to shoot out as a bolt (e.g. Ruin) and other designs cause aether to knit wounds (e.g. Physick) and others, along with the gemstone element, bring forth a self-sustaining aetheric construct (i.e. Summon I and II).Â
Writ very simply, it is the use of math to do magic, whereas other DoMs have other rituals/triggers to do magic.Â
At the moment I can't find some of the more detailed discussions and examples that have been written up on these forums before (and there are many, and they are very detailed), but I'll try to dig around and link them. Heck, someone else may beat me to it.
