Tedronai:
Those extra benefits seem extremely powerful when they're applicable, though maneuvers never inflict consequences.
benign:
Exactly, and the thing is you can still only tag the aspects once. Since you (or an ally) are usually setting those aspects up for a more or less immediate tag, the extra duration is nice but only really powerful if you have someone on the team with so many fate points that they need a recurring place to spend a bunch of them over and over.
Where I see it potentially being quite nice is in using thaumaturgy to set up aspects, since those extra shifts for duration go quite far. But then again, making up a few extra shifts is much easier when casting a ritual than an evocation, so while the shifts are nice they still don't seem OP.
Sanctaphrax:
The canonicity of mental evocation attacks is controversial, but their power is not. I think.
And yes, computerking, that is what I mean. It`s an extrapolation from the way that the Heart-Exploding Spell works, and I think it`s a reasonable one.
I like the new foxfire. The extra benefit is an effective +5 power, which would normally be way too much. But maneuver duration rarely matters, so it shouldn`t be a problem.
Though I have little experience with Thaumaturgy maneuvers, which might break this. I dunno.
benign:
My feeling is that thaumaturgy maneuvers don't break foxfire because it is usually a relatively simple matter to find extra shifts to feed your ritual. A player who really wants to get it done will do it, this bonus is simply a nice way to skip that preparation step when doing the relatively niche application of thaumaturgy rituals that apply to a target and somehow warp their senses.
Thanks for the feedback.

Their value-unto-themselves in refresh certainly would seem to be, if your estimate is any guide.
