I would play that game :)
I love it when we find artifacts in my GURPS fantasy roleplaying game. We usually can't identify their magical properties completely, and have to try to figure them out on the fly.
The best is when we find something that is truly powerful: none of us want to use it because we assume that it must have some absolutely horrible downside.
Our GM is known for his horrible side effects.
