p.s.: what we REALLY need to telegraph better is the effect of worm ring. the description gives a hint, but most descriptions are just a fluff text, so the player will quickly learn to ignore them. maybe some kind of "inspect" command, which will allow intelligent player to learn about artifact properties? it's not like "identify", the artifact is fully usable without it; just informational. or wizards (or librarians?) may tell you about artifacts if you'll show them items. but i don't know yet how to make it work nice, without stupid raw stats and flags dumping. this needs some flavor text too, i guess.
Hmm, perhaps a healer or librarian could tell you? Someone with actual knowledge.
By the way the sticky notes on boxes is a fabulous idea.
