Ranma/Xanth

Through Happosai's bumbling the entire crew gets thrown into mad magical
land of Xanth.  In transit the magic used to transport them imbues each with
their own talent.

Akane:  Falling blunt objects, or changes in to a boy at will
Genma:  The power of avoiding responsibility.
Nodoka:  The ability to find anyone
Ryouga:  Right place right time:
Kasumi:  Nice field
Nabiki:  Magic contracts
Soun:  Cry a river
Ukyo:  Changes into a boy at will, or conjure Oknomiyaki from thin air
Shampoo:  clean
Kuno: thunderbolts
Kodachi:  Poison touch

What about Ranma?  or is that way to obvious?  =)

By the way, what exactly is a 'nice field'?

I'm not sure exactly what would happen to someone who already had
a Talent, and the Jyusenkyo curses would qualify as Talents by
Xanth standards.  For that matter, in it's own way so would
Ryoga's power to defy distance and geometry or Soun's demon head
trick.  

A "nice field" would be the ability to persuade everyone to be nice,
if they are close enough to Kasumi.  

And, Jeremy Walker:  The "clean" power would be the ability to 
cause anything to be magically cleaned, on the principle that
anyone named Orient will be able to find things and so forth.

What I can't figure is how Genma's power works.
