Hm. Tanya Huff's Summon the Keeper, maybe?
Or a Nanoha crossover... perhaps the manuals get mistaken for some sort of Lost Logia, or the Book of Night Sky was an attempt to create one (or a prototype for them)....

reboots it becomes stronger while affecting a group that is different from the last group. Perhaps the magic from Young Wizards is the way that magic
works in the modern era.
Now that I think about it, If I Pay Thee Not in Gold would also work well with Harry Potter. Perhaps Harry decides that Wizarding society is too
corrupt to be allowed to exist and so reboots magic so that wand magic ceases to work and some new form of magic replaces it. In that case 'the power the
dark lord knows not' could be the power to change the nature of magic itself.

The Book of Night With Moon being Mistaken as Lost Logia... That's... Wow.
It'd have to be slightly AU, seeing as the Powers That Be took measures to make sure that it wouldn't be found by anyone who wasn't supposed to find it... Not unless they wanted Nanoha to, for whatever reason.
More likely, they somehow stumble upon the little pocket that Nita and Kit made for that Wyrm and recover the Lone Power's twisted version of the book. Now, I can see why TSAB would be interested in the thing, because while the Book of Night with Moon radiates a vague sense of danger due to the power it holds, the Lone Power's version simply radiates wrongness to such a degree that holding it for extended periods of time can actually hurt.
So, Nanoha and Fate try getting this book back to the TSAB so they can figure out how to dispose of it properly (of course, not realizing that due to Karma, the book must exist as long as it's counterpart does as well), The Lone Power is hopping mad, trying to get it back... And then the Powers That Be scramble their best and brightest when dealing with The Lone Power directly: Juanita Calahan, Kit Rodriguez, Dairine Calahan, and poossibly a few others. (The wizard from A Wizard Apart who was autistic comes to mind - TSAB's gonna have fits with him!)

Actually, I was thinking more of the inverse situation... the Wizards' Manuals being mistaken for Lost Logia, and then some sort of plot inversion
revealing that Hayate's 'Book of Darkness/Book of the Night Sky' was originally a prototype for them, or an attempt to duplicate them...
But, yeah, if anyone's liable to find the Wyrm's pocket-D, it's the TSAB...

On the Science Fiction front....
David Weber's Apocalypse Troll is one book that would make a basis for a great crossover...
With first/second season Stargate SG1...
Or with Babylon 5 take the events in the book then bring it forward with the effects of the technology from Apocalypse Troll as well as how the Babylon 5
universe future history would differ as a result...Up to the Minbari war
I'd suggest the Dahakverse with Battlestar Galactica only do it at the point just after Imperial Terra self destructs ragtag fleet meets the sublight
parasite battleship Israel....(The few Dahakverse crossovers that have been done for one reason or another haven't quite lived up to their potential...
The other Dahakverse possibility is the ragtag fleet arrives just in time to experience the Achuultani siege of Earth...
Kris Longknife/nBSG....
On the Anime Front...
How about a straight Nanoha/Sailormoon crossover at some point in A's...Maybe having the inners be vacationing in Uminari city...
Or how about a Nanoha A's/Harry Potter xover drawing on Hayate visiting retired Admiral Graham in England only to be drawn into an incident with the
ministry of Magic...
Although I just got hit by an evil idea for YAHF for Buffy...Willow dressed as Nanoha. With Buffy as Fate....

The only problem with most YAHFs is that the author doesn't pay attention to time frames, and you get the Scoobies dressed as characters from stuff that
came out five and ten years after that Halloween. That blows suspension of disbelief out of the water for me.

Point...The time frame issue does at times make the suspension of disbelief a bit on the difficult side.
but I have seen some YAHFs done with series in which the focus was an item belonging to the character from another series is used as a focus for the Halloween
change...
And for the matter I've seen more than one xover bite the dust on time frame mismatch...There is one Naruto x-over in which we find an immortal Naruto
reading James Clavells Shogun then he goes to Japan a a century or so later and runs into Ranma and the Sailor Senshi...Shogun was published in 1975...
Side note I sometimes get the feeling from some of the fragments of Naruto that I've watched that the series is set in a post civilization collapse
setting...You have scattered elements of high tech gear and then you've got all this low tech or early industrial age stuff mixed in...

it seems to me like a lot of anime: they cherry-picked the technology they wanted to use and left the rest with no explanation.... the ninja have electricity, radios and tv, but no automobiles... and guns are rarer than hen's teeth, but not entirely unknown. i've seen some fanfic explain it away as post-apocalypse left-overs and others as "summoned" gear that they had to figure out how to use, but could not innovate or improve upon... in either case, i apply the bellesarius maxim and move on...

Meh. I'd chalk it all up to how a modern Ninja village would stay 'hidden'. The society is not dependent on energy-intensive applications ot
technology. Therefore you can get by with a small powerplant that doesn't need a lot of fuel. Less fuel = easier to hide. Same with cars - extreme energy
consumption, plus noisy and polluting. Someone would notice that cloud of smog.

Gives the words "Bug Bomb" and "Raid" a whole new level of meaning, no?

In an Anime Addventure episode I read recently, it was suggested that the major ninja villages restricted some technologies in their territories. In areas
where ninjas aren't as predominant (like Wave) these technologies are more common.

It wouldn't surprise me. The existence of ninja and how jealousy they gaurd their secrets seems to have propped up feudalism longer than normal and given
the supression of firearms in real world Japan due to an attempt by the feudal state to keep itself in power its a safe assumption.
