AFAIR, it's the misuse of muggle artefacts. That would be stuff like
Voldemort's diary - ordinary muggle-made thing filled with dark magic.
I think it would appeal to Lucius very much to put spells on some Muggle
objects and release them to unsuspecting muggles, and it falls into
Arthur's department to deal with. Ironically it would require from Lucius
better understanding of how muggle objects work than Arthur has.
