Here are a bunch of miscellaneous questions I have been saving up for a while, 
I intend to use the data I gather for future fanfics, lets begin...

1. All about Chi. I've heard that being able to focus chi into a projectile 
type attack depends on heavy martial arts training. Just what is Chi? How can 
someone gain the ability to use it? And what types of attacks (or defenses) 
can be created with it?

2. Ki. I know little about Chi but Ki  know nothing of. I have seen it in a 
few fanfics.  Same basic questions arising. What is ki and how can characters 
gain the power to use it.

3. Special attacks in Ranma. I know enough about the characters in Ranma to 
try at a fic. I shouldn't have any problems with that, but I know a (drum roll 
please) total of 3 attacks from the Ranma-verse. Shadow Fog, Shishi Hakoadon, 
and Happo Fireburst (Yes I know I spelled them wrong.) Some Ranma crazed fan 
please update me. I need the name of some attacks, who uses it, and a short 
description of what it does.

4. Crossover magical abilities. Say a hardened black belt in some form of the 
martial arts from our universe gets somehow sent somewhere where magic 
exists... Does this person suddenly gain great power because he is a skilled 
martial artist, or is he doomed to never have the joy of throwing fireballs?


Thanks for reading this. I'll be starting a Ranma fic in a few weeks (enough 
time for me to see a few more episodes and read fics) and if I have tons of 
cool stuff in it it's because a cool person replied and told me everything I 
need to know ;)

Later!
