Currently, I'd say the artifacts are almost like augments. Sylph's ability to hide her essence within her scarf is evidence of that. Salamander just got his as a gift, and he thinks it looks cool.

In the end, its more of a matter that, the artifacts are more like gifts from the gods, spirits, and beings who are able manipulate their powers. Using material given/taken from a being, like Undine's dress. Salamander's cloak is a gift from a god of fire, and Sylph's scarf holds the breath of every wind and sky god. They are artifacts because they have owned them for so long, that the objects have tied into their essence.
