Thoughts:
Smoldering Catapult: Love it, it is simple yet powerful. Good rare.
Genesis Assembly: Well balanced, paying six mana to tutor up a low power creature seems right up green's alley. I like it.
Staff of Eternal Majesty: Allowing you to tap creatures to put counters on the artifact is, well, dangerous in one of the most prominent token generating colors. If you build your deck right, you are basically dropping a Day of Judgment that avoids some of your own creatures while wiping your opponents. I'd up the cost a little bit.
Wand of Repulsion: I feel this card wants to be an uncommon. Compared to the others so far it is very weak. At most you get to bounce three creatures, one per turn, with decreasing effect. Unless you have a way to put charge counters on it, not many people would play this card.
Scriptures of the Damned: Good card, the costs are balanced, and on its own you can drop a demon on turn five, if you drop this on turn 1. I like it.
All in all, white seems to powerful, blue seems to weak, the rest seem balanced and fun.

Wand of Repulsion is far too weak; I know Wizards has been weakening creature bounce a little in recent years, but this is slightly overkill. Maybe it would work better inside of a set, but this is being posted in a vacuum. Meanwhile, with the only charge cost being "tap an untapped creature you control," Staff of Eternal Majesty is simply too good -- or at least too easy to work with, then leaving you with access to a board wipe at any time provided you have open. It's not quite Disk levels, but it's a little scary.
The rest are pretty great, though, with the catapult in particular being a good way to make a colored artifact feel like a colored artifact as opposed to an enchantment -- which has been one of the major concerns about introducing colored artifacts places where they're not merely flavorful (e.g. outside of Alara or New Phyrexia).
