So if you're really trying to conjure a meteor using geometries, theoretically it could be done, but someone still has to pay the cost of that spell in aether, which would most likely kill any living person. Arcanists can, to some extent drain aether from the environment or manipulate it into external reservoirs, but everything they cast still has to go through their body/mana. That's the ultimate limiting factor for an arcanist delivering high level forbidden magicks outside of how the magick is designed to be cast.
Thanks for the help!
