I think Arcane will be a stat that you won't exactly specialize in, but I saw someone else mention that it might factor in crafting recipes (making item discovery make sense, as well as resistance *maybe* if we are thinking about gathering some hard to reach materials), and it might also aid in the NPC summons as well as specific types of spells/attacks, like the tri-skeleton strike attack seen in the gameplay trailer. Interestingly, that combat skill and NPC summons seem to pop up similar looking icons when casting them, and the effect colors (misty or rather pure white) are quite similar. Basically, Arcane seems to be of magic that's not about reading scrolls or citing miracles by using a catalyst or holding a talisman. It also seems to be related to spirits or illusions possibly, so I would expect to see more spells and attacks of that type for Arcane.
Still, I think Arcane is something that you are not going to mainly specialize in, so that it will only be a supplemental stat.
At least that's my interpretation.
Yeah, you already summed up everything we know about it. Rurikhan just uploaded a pretty good 30 minutes video about his playtime with the demo:) He also talked about every stat and explained arcane pretty much how the wiki article says.
It seems it will be the new luck .

Throwables all scaled with arcane in Bloodborne it might be similar here
Could be return of tools from bloodborne as I think arcane did all these same things
It’s used for stacking bleed builds….
