Just an update here: We're stuck on the Book, so that's been moved to the back burner for now. The idea that the artifact's might not be genuine Victorian-era objects actually helps open up different origins for them, which we are exploring to see if anything sticks out. Otherwise, we might just say it was an original idea made by X author in Y time (kind-of like how the show made up a few characters who aren't real, but could still have existed, just without specifically attaching the names to the objects). We've considered adjusting its origins to be based on an unfinished play by Christopher Marlowe (originator of the Faust play), but he either died before finishing it (I'd have to see if he was still doing plays up until his death) or the Warehouse got involved (perhaps Faust wasn't his original idea?).

She also had an idea for an artifact from Overwatch, which we've been working to refine. The artifact is the game itself, and its (refined) effects are "Extended play makes the user act like the character they played the most, copying their behavior and attitudes. Perhaps it can even result in the user believing that life is a video game, which may lead to risky behavior because they come to believe that if they die, they'll simply come back to life (as one does in a video game)."
