Why was the Inspiration Manifestation spell's prison in a poorly-secured annex of the library a long-ruined and abandoned castle rather than in a guarded location? The problem is that, over time, important stuff, including dangerous stuff, gets mislaid, forgotten and slowly filters out into the wider world. Stuff allegedly buried forever gets churned up by earlthquakes or mudslides. Plate tectonics over the passage of aeons brings a dark artefact cast into the depths of the sea to the shore once again.

Nothing can ever be truly lost forever unless you are willing to destroy it and, sometimes, the cost of destruction is worse than the trouble of keeping it secure.
