Artefacts that have drawbacks seem like quite a reasonable thing to include, though it would be limited somewhat be the practical matter that dwarfs create artefacts in fort mode, and you want those artefacts to be reasonably useful.
Really, dwarfs already have a tendency to make candy war-hammers and gold swords, if they don't just make purely cosmetic artefacts in the first place. As such if you were to throw your suggestion in now, you would end up with lots wooden mini-forge of were-rabbitism and silly things like that. Of course, that could be desirable to some. With that in mind it would be nice to have some settings in world-gen regarding the creation of artefacts(much as the myth generator is said to have now), and of course the current way dwarfs create artefacts will probably be over-hauled completely in the artefact update anyway.
