Gotta say, it makes some sense. Tartarus is the Primordial of Evil (by the myths). His mere presence might influence, well let's say, the dark side of someone's powers. However (as  a certain user will totally just love to point out (no disrespect intended)), Percy has shown the ability to control poison in the Son of Neptune. However, it's entirely possible that he was only to do so for a small amount of time. (Since most liquid has a small amount of water in it, he was probably only able to control that small amount).

Annabeth was probably also affected by Tartarus, as her plans seemed to be more devious and cunning in the House of Hades, which seemed to be the more sadistic parts of her mind awakening.

All and all, I like this theory. Because not only does it make Percy less OP than he already is, but it also has fundamentals.

Whoa, can't believe I had the time to actually type all of this.

Walks off whistling "Kratos, Kra-ay-ay-ay-tos."
