Actually, I've always wondered if part of the issue with the kids at Hogwarts is that Guild Rules are still in play. Which means that the school infirmary is not actually monitored by anyone but the school nurse. Considering the info hording and territorialistic tendencies of Guild Rules... I have to wonder if Ron's main issue is that the chess set of Doom did give him drain bamage. Not a new concept really, but I'd like to see one where the main difference between Europe and North America is that the Do-It-Yourself boon effected the magical side of things. Meaning there is no Oblivators Guild to keep happy... So the NA reason to not blatantly spread knowledge of magic to the populous around is that it keeps the numbers of supervillians down. Which I feel is more sensible than the 'they'd want us to do everything for them' logic in Europe.
SB BROB/Quest... how would that work? I mean if you just punt the diary off to nowhere it makes Voldie immortal. I'd need specifics. If you mean the book of SB ranting to a character thing though... yes. Psycho-Sama actually has one where his character was punted into the Fallout verse less than a year before Doom's day. Grant it was techinically a creative writing one that got punted into the BROB thread zone. The main idea there is that the character has a Pipboy that can see the thread. Its a combo between documenting life and reacting to the thead. IC he is getting as much out of the bootlegging of another world's entertainment industry as the technical data they sent him.
