Oh, and there are no downsides of the peculiars. So, any downside made will be an original artifact idea.

The user SarahMycroftHolmes made a point about pictures being more powerful than books. If I remember correctly, the books have pictures in them, most likely of all the main peculiars. So, should the effects be based off of reading or seeing the pictures? My base idea is the random application of one of the peculiarities mentioned in the book, but if you look at the pictures, then I feel like the effects would change into receiving the abilities of the person in the photos.

One idea did occur to me, though I'd like to put it up since it is separate from the Books. The pictures shown in the Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children book are unusual. What if this is photographic evidence of the effects of artifacts from long ago? We know the Warehouse has employed people to create things that mask the presence of artifacts (Alice in Wonderland, for example). What if this book was another device used to mask the idea of artifacts by showing pictures of peculiar things and making them into a story?
