You can speak concisely, or prefer concise writing, but not quite with concision. I prefer conciseness? Conciquity? Concisement? Why is there no noun for this word??

      Concision is a regular and unexceptional word, but I think brevity has a slightly different connotation: “concision” implies that you’ve carefully phrased things to convey the most information in the fewest words, while “brevity” can imply that you’ve just left stuff out.

        I miss that rug. Really tied the room together.

      Concision seems like it should be a word for that which is made concise rather than the brevity itself. An incision is the cut made by incising.

        Incision can also be the practice of incising, but we don’t need that word very much.
