artifice Explanation: I think that something incorporating the noun "artifice" is needed. We don't have a verb from this in English but you could try something like "further artifice is added", "further levels of artifice are added", "drawn further into the realms of artifice" or "their artifice is enhanced". |

artful Explanation: By personalization of the objects by means of surface layering they assume an artful appearance. |

receive further artification Explanation: I was thinking of 'artistic refinement' first, overlooking that 'refinement' already came up in the first part of the sentence. 'Artifiziert' is not disparaging at all and also doesn't mean 'made more artificial' |
