Any artefact blowguns? Or is it an untapped market? :-)
For an unrand artefact, how about something that always has a chance of combining some of the different needle effects. So if you've quivered poisoned needles, there'd be some chance that paralysis, rage, sleeping, confusion or curare could also get applied to the quivered damage type.
Or for extra jazz, a tiny chance to do also do Dazzling Spray or Airstrike. Thematically, that's magical confetti spray or a smite attack. % chance of Summon Butterflies too for an extra festive run away from trouble.
I figure if we've got oddities like the Obsidian Axe and the Shield of the Gong, there's at least some occasional fun in the item being situationally risky to you. Firing off poisoned needles at a wolf spider: on the 5th needle you also apply curare, a few more plain poison shots, then with a 1-tile gap, the next needle applies rage. Oops....
