Hi! And welcome to Mizahar! Since I'm one of the resident mages, I'll try to answer some of your questions regarding reimancy.
First of all, a gesture is more like an aid for spellcasting. You don't exactly need gestures to cast a spell, but it does help a lot when it comes to concentrating and for additional oomph or accuracy. Just remember though, the more important part is, how are you going to emit res from your body to create fire? Perhaps snapping a finger would work, but I think it would help if you emphasize how you emit res and ignite it while snapping your finger.
Ice is part of air and water reimancy. XD The reimancy page's para-elements section is quite outdated.
As for glyphing and summoning, yes, you can make glyphs around a summoning circle, but it is likely you need another form of magic to "bind" the creature. For example, if your character possesses summoning, reimancy and glyphing at the same time, perhaps he could draw elemental glyphs around a summoning circle, that will trigger once the creature you summoned turns hostile, barbecueing it with fire reimancy!
Mizahar's magic system is amazing, isn't it?
