I'd kind of like to see something like the example Toady gave one time in some DFTalk or something long ago, which was a coffer that is always full of food that you can use to send with your soldiers as they go off on adventures, but it is not to leave the fortress under a full moon or all the soldiers will turn into werebeasts.

Its a feature. Impregnating booze is a planned tech tree for dwarves and this is a sneak peek at it.

And unto this, Droggarth! Destined to wear the jeweled crown of The Aquiline Dominions upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell you of his saga. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!

I'm really looking forward to the looms of fate toady mentioned.

A guitar with strings of fate would be pretty badass to shred with too.

I would like an necromancy artifact that allows one corpse to merge with another and continue to merge with more corpses and build one giant mega-corpse like this

One word. Voodoo dolls. So you can twist and turn, and stab and slash something without getting your hands dirty

That would be great. It would be awesome to have witches, shaman or voodoo priestesses etc. from groups of people you have angered use voodoo dolls. Just out of the blue some of the fingers on your right hand just twist and break or you start projectile vomiting with only some vague sense that you have an enemy somewhere in the land of such and such that is working dark magic against you. Maybe you briefly catch a glimpse through the eyes of the voodoo doll of the local swamp or mountains etc. where your tormentor is performing the ritual. It could become an impromptu quest to hunt down the bastards that are torturing you.

I think that's gonna be available even without artifact use - one of the planned, not-yet-implemented night creature types are undead constructs with mismatched limbs, sutures and grafted weapons.

Doh!! Mjölnir! The mighty hammer of Thor! How the fuck I forgot that considering the fact that I'm into Viking stuff too. Really useful having that hammer in hand as it allows you to fly and cast lighting at your foes. One must just be worthy of the hammer (right set of personality traits and values) to use it/lift it.

Some things like a boot that grants the wearer knowledge of all dance forms in the world and legendary skill in them for one hour each day.
And then that night turns you into a duck with broken leg and wing.

A cow skull totem which when used to smack people tells you all of the relationships with civs/groups they have.

A pair of rings, which when owned by two separate people make them fall madly in love with one-another. But also turn into two different forms of werebeasts during the full moon that try to tear each other to pieces.

The amulet of persuasion which causes anyone the wearer is arguing with to immediately acquiesce and adopt the values they argued in favor of.

A magic pebble, which when thrown at an enemy never misses, and always knocks the target unconscious, removing them from all conflicts, without killing.

A wool jacket that looks really, really ugly but protects the wearer from unwanted hugs from annoying family members.

A coffin which, when a corpse or bodypart of a deceased person is placed inside, summons their ghost whom you may talk to.

A stack of forgotten beast intestines which, whenever one is removed from the stack, summons a clone of the forgotten beast it came from. The clones' intestines are treated the same.

the cup of doom, which when drunk from inflicts a random syndrome that could be a mixture of good or bad traits of any strength.

scroll of deformity, which when read from will cause the mutilation, deformation, or loss of a random body part. (Because those gods of deformity are great pranksters...)

Hollow spear, which drains the blood of any creature it is used to pierce, at a steady rate, for as long as the spear is lodged in the wound.

Door of law, which cannot be opened by anyone who has broken a law in the territory of the civilization in possession of it.

Caphim, a helm which when worn summons Caphim, a guardian angel who will protect the wearer and obey them to the death.

Oh Jesus, I swear if we get an artifact that stops time I'll be so happy.

I would use that to traverse cities with libraries and goblin pits. Because if time is stopped, I'm the only thing out there that needs to path.  :P

How about an instrument that, when played, makes everyone who listens not need to eat, sleep, or drink? Then they could keep listening to it until the day they die.
