If your goal is to have a old style feel I'd borrow heavily from the runic tradition.The norse have a vetki that must write his runes with a particular type of knife. The runes can be seen as cosmically aligned symbols, gifts from Odin, other sources etc...If you want to jazz up your class why not make it similar to a psionic class and require an attuned crystal. The crystal might require building\contemplating the facets within as reflections of the universe. It might even scratch into the weave to create its magic.'Sides lots of people think crystals are cool <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Crystals would give you an avenue for magic items and more powerful crystals. Level advancement might also affect a wizard's crystal offering another source for variation.Seriously it is perhaps popular to see the music of spheres as very new age and modern but medieval and shamanic tradition certainly had enough mysticism and fascination with geometry and math for you to keep your flavour in the past.S</blockquote>
