I'm looking to put together a list of artifacts that have been created by an insane immortal. The main criteria is that they should have some practical purpose, but that purpose does not have to actually relate directly to the form of the artifact in question, or the method that it is activated. The purpose may be mundane, or extravagent, but should be quite totally insane.

So far I have 2 artifacts designed.
1) the Armour of Torments
This "Armour" is not much mure then a pair of claws, a collar, nipple shields, a crotch strap, and a pair of stiletto heeled thigh high boots.
http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/043/e/8/Wolf_gal_by_pleroo.jpgThe Armour is moderately intelligent, and can be reasoned with, to an extent. It only chooses female hosts, and has the ability to impregnate it's wearer, to produce it's next host. It has the ability to gain enchantments that boost the hosts fighting abilities, much like normal equipment can be enchanted. The tormenting part of the armour is that, as time goes by, and it offers new enchantments to it's host, it also will develop sexual torments for the host. The armour develops and gets more skilled at it's torments as the host develops (i.e. gains experience). The armour has been designed to seek out and achieve specific goals, and will produce, or find new hosts until it's objective has been completed.
2) the Corset or Rebirth
This corset has the ability to confer a new life onto a female of child bearing age, regardless of pre-existing verility. It does so by soaking up the soul of a male orc, tightening around the victim until he is quite thoroughly dead, and then tranforming that soul into a new one that is then transferred into the females body, resulting in pregnancy. The corset takes 6 hours to cleanse the soul of it's "impurities".
