To close this, let's notice that Ki/Chi/whatever is treated in

ways in both mangas, as it is something that only lives on the

of the author (are there any real laws of how you can use Ki? ... I
thought so). 

Which is exactly the point. Imposing Ranma laws of ki onto Love Hina
characters for no apparent reason gives the fic a Ranma-centric tone.
If you're primarily a Ranma fan, that may not be a bad thing. For
someone who respects the Love Hina characters, though, it's onerous.

Ki/Chi has the same source in both universes. It's just manifested
differently in Motoko and Kuno. Why not respect that? There's no
reason why Ranma couldn't learn any of Motoko's techniques, but
there's also no reason to forget Motoko is Shinmei Ryu and turn her
into a powered-up Kuno.
