Although this ties into my campaign setting, it might be useful in a general capacity.
Some notes on the format:
I denotes a minor benign power
II denotes a major benign power
III denotes a minor malevolent effect
IV denotes a major malevolent effect.
V is a prime power
and
VI is a side effect
Minor malevolent effects occur after the artifact is in a character's possession for 1-4 weeks or after a major power is used.
Major malevolent effects occur after a Major or Prime power is used.
