There might be yet a few modifications done to that aspect...
Hm.. I'm not sure I agree.. Spiritual things in Ranmaverse are very real.
(After all, Ranma's actually talked to what? 5 ghosts, at least one stone
statue and lotsa other things)
It seems that you can take a book of japanese
mythology, and just consider everything there very real. In Ranmaverse, that
is.
Because of that, Ranma has a somewhat high tolerance for odd
happenings. It will come in handy in chapter 3 where Ranma runs
afoul of Ba'alzamon in TAR... <evil grin>
If something doesn't seem possible, it doesn't mean it's impossible.
Which is exactly what Ranma will demonstrate to Moiraine a couple
of times, much to her acute displeasure... :)

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to find out who this
Cubone guy is. Any cute cartoon animal who wears the
skull of one of his defeated enemies as headwear is
my kinda cute cartoon animal.
