Another point 'Elf might want to address later: If Sylia has done
enough research to find out about Ranma's... condition then she should be
contemplating signing the _entire_ _team_ up for lessons from a martial
artist who could have taken apart anything short of a C-class Boomer in
his prime.
One more thing, don't try to think up a Complete Scientific
Explination for the curses of Jusenkyo; you'll probably hurt something and
there is no innate contradiction between the presence of sorcery and an
advanced technological society (so sayeth the Shadowrunner ;)
