I must say i am a HUGE fan of this idea.
If i may, i'd like to suggest an idea. Allow power core output rates to be modified after being removed somehow, and have artifacts do different things depending on what the power output is.
Lets say for example, you took the core from that water powered eldritch shock artifact you had there, and decided to put it into a directional lighting artifact. You could set the power output to be relatively low, so that the artifact isn't very bright but it lasts for a long time on one glass of water. Or you could set it to be relatively high which would result in a nice, bright light that only lasts for about two minutes.
But lets say we manage to get our hands on a super capacity power core and turn up the output even beyond that. What if that resulted in a beam of light so intense that it sets fire to things that are directly in front of it (A la the SX-16 Nightsun). Or if you set it even higher, what if it ended up producing a power transfer laser beam.
Or what if you used a noisemaker artifact, instead of making annoying loud noises it could end up bursting eardrums shattering windows or even gibbing people due to sheer volume.
Or say you somehow manage to identify an artifact bomb...
I think it would be a really cool thing to be able to do, and would make artlab actually viable for traitors.
