Adding stuff that could be made applicable to the artifact (if someone wants):

1. In my head, the artifact itself is the part of the lake. Or, the lake and all the bones (and maybe armor and weapons too) in it.

2. Also in my head, the artifact activates when disturbed too much (hence why it was kept in one of the stillest places in the WH, the Graveyard), and it was static balls hitting the lake that woke up the soldiers. If someone can come up with a better activation method though, perhaps incorporating the battle or the people in it (a specific circumstance, a time of years, etc?), that'd be cool, but it's not required if my method works.

3. It could be made so the soliders are partially made of water? Either way, their water bodies or their armor and weapons (or both, if we do make them made of water) could be electrified by the static and make it dangerous to get too close (and obviously, Teslas might not help).

Sorry if I'm too indecisive and I've suggested too many complicated details for this one, guys. If it does end up being too complicated to solve, I'm alright with this idea being scrapped and having to make a new one.
