"An air spirit may be confined by airtight seals in containers of
remarkably small size; Vulnerability (Earth)."

Notice that confined is not capitalized to signify that it is a
special weakness. The confinement is nothing more than what is written.
Once it is confined then it can no longer use its powers. Although I
would suppose it could be Commanded to return to the Astral and then
Commanded to Manifest again outside its confinement so I really can't
give it much significance as a weakness.
The disruption you are referring to is its Vulnerability which in an
Air Spirit's case is Earth. That has nothing to do to its confinement
restriction which is a separate weakness.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.
