Actually we _know_ Akane is one of them because the Eddings crew heard
the sound when she pulled out her mallet.  We know Ranma, Ryoga, Mousse,
and Akane for sure.  Ranma, Ryoga, and Mousse because there's no other
way to describe their special techniques (Ranma with the Hiryu Shoten Ha
and Moko Takabisha, Ryoga with the Bukusai Tenketsu and Shi Shi
Hokoudan, and Mousse with all those weapons coming out of nowhere).  I'd
guess Ukyo and Kasumi as ones without Sorcery as neither of them have
demonstrated any sort of special abilities in the past.  The question is
still out on Shampoo, Takewaki, and Kodachi since:

  But is chi synonymous with sorcery?  Nabiki has never shown any chi
ability and Kasumi also felt Polgara's mental summons.

Maybe maybe not, but it seems to be, and it _is_ an effective method of
explaining their abilities.  If you think about it, it even makes
sense.  Ranma and Ryoga gather their chi for their projectile attacks
much the same way the sorcerers gather their will, and all of their
attacks are accompanied by a word or words (even if it's only a kiai). 
concevably their attacks could be the Will and the Word since it has
most of the earmarks of it.
