In case a major number of the limit of artifacts were wearer, one might unleash his power with unexpected and possibly devastating effects ...
for example, let's say that the limit that anyone could wear are three...
So there were not needed to apply any reduction is the Arelith artifacts, not to nerf them, but just to place a limit on how many could be used at the same time... say one, two, three...Arthur, High King of Britain was walking in Stonhenge, with his advisor, the Great Merlin.
Merlin: - So, Arty, did you left the Crown of Britain in the Treasure chamber as I requested?
Arthur: (lying) Yes, I did.
Merlin: (Suspecting) *Raising a brow* Are you sure?
Arthur: Yes, darn, I told you! i did!
Merlin: Allright! Then take this, I wanted to share with you a vision of the Future of your great realm... this relic will allow you to watch on the Days of Tomorrow!
*Extracting a chalice of his saddle-bags, he does delivery of the saint Grial to him*
Arthur, trembling a bit but don't daring to admit his lie, picks the chalice...
* Suddenly, the energy combined of four Arthur's artifacts, namely, the sword Excalibur, the magic pod, the coronet and the chalice, they begin to vibrate strongly that rapidly climbs up to levels in which the physical integrity and energy of the relics meets unable to support so much power. The explosion could be listen from the saxon coast...*
*Stonhenge turned from that day into a smoking well of bubbly tar*
If equiped more, they all will unequip and a Great Epic Fireball will explode (per each artifact owned), all the artifacts shall save against disintegration or vanish leaving some random magical dust...

Perhaps
Well... LMAO... Instead the said epic fireballs, read: All the artifacts unequip at same time, so you could only re-equip the maximun allowed number of them (were 2, 3...)
