Hi!

	Just figured I'd drop a few comments, while I'm back on the ML...

	You wondered in your intro to the fic if this angle had been taken
before; I seem to remember a few comedic spamfics on the subject, but no
serious efforts (am I right/wrong here?).  So you've got something
interesting here, and well written, too.
	I just found it resolved a bit quickly: not in the death of Kuno
(cutting away from the actual sword-stroke worked well), but just in the
sudden revelation of Ranma's identity, everyone passing out, the conflict.
I dunno, maybe a few more glimpses, a bit more suspensful build-up
would've helped?
	Actually, the only problem I have -- and it's not with your fic
specifically, but of stories of this type in general -- is, why?  I mean,
if you were a sorcerer of untold might and age, would you really waste
your time tormenting and manipulating high-school teens?  (It's like the
classic RPG setup: the omnipotent wizard/lich who constructs a baffling --
and highly unlikely -- dungeon, to 'test' adventurers.  I mean, how bored
do you have to be?
	Ummm... but I liked the fic!
