Any comments on the two Air Aspect stones?

Air Aspect

Gemstone of Free Weaving

Manse •••••?
Triger: Spellcasting

This heathstone modifies the users state of awareness such that Essence Flows are quite clear and malleable to her. This greatly aids the process of Essence Shaping in sorcery, and allows the user to cast spells in one less round than usual. Spells cast in this manner always go off at the end of the round, and are hence still susceptible to countermagic even if it only takes one round to cast them.

Concentration Focussing Stone

Manse •••••?
Trigger: Spellcasting
Cost of Activation: One committed temporary willpower

The user of this hearthstone finds that they are able to attain a state of concentration in which the forming and releasing of spells becomes second nature. Entering this state requires that a point of willpower be committed for the duration, but this is compensated by the willpower cost of using TCS, CCS or SCS being reduced by one. The user can only remain in this state of concentration for at most a number of hours equal to twice their permanent willpower.

Celestial

Stone of Celestial Disguise

Celestial Manse •••
Trigger: Special

The stone of Celestial Disguise shifts the perceptions of those viewing the item that it is mounting it in, disrupting their perception of it to match the wishes of the person attuned to the stone. In effect the user can choose any shape for the object and it will appear like that. High essence beings may see through the deception.

I think Manse 5 is a little high for the first one; I think there's a manse-5 stone that does something similar to that already, but also reduces mote cost. --Dissolvegirl

I'd suggest that the Concentration Focusing stone should be limited by spells cast, not time spent in that state (although keep the time limit as well.) I think Essence x 2 spells are a fairly big chunk, I'm assuming per day, and if you need more... well, get more sorcerers. I would cost it with that modification at Manse ••••. I think Dissolvegirl is right about the Free Weaving stone, manse •••• seems appropriate for that as well, maybe even manse •••, depending on game. (Annoyingly, it seems to fall somewhere between 3 and 4, so it's up to the storyteller to decide I think.)
