One involving secrets and/or word games in some way.  I dunno.

Cryptomancy pops into my mind whenever I consider this.  Its connection with keeping things secret makes it good material for a Cryptomantic artifact (maybe three matching ones that work together in some way)

Watching movies and such, as well.  The entirety of the 1980's AI movie "Electric Dreams" changes when you think a dipsomancer left a ghost in the water (champagne? I forget) that the guy spills on the computer, thus making it sentient (and evil).  Just an example, and I'm certain there are more.
