 provide command of time itself. As Guardian, you will be able to view
 any previous, current, or potential event that exists anywhere or
 anywhen. In addition, you will have the power to permit other beings
 access to transportation either forward or backwards in time and
 space." - Eiko

 Where the ladles are now, or whether they exist any more, doesn't seem
 to matter much. Ranma (or Future-Ranma) could retrieve them at the
 instant of their destruction, or borrow them a moment after their
 creation.

I'd classify that as major abuse of one's powers.

Actually no.  However, Eiko could use the fact that Ranma can learn
to control his form as he comes out of Guardian state as a reason for
NOT fetching the kettle.  Which would Ranma prefer:  uncontrollable
change from exposure to water or control through his new office?

Umm, actually, Ranma won't change from exposure to water any more, even if 
he were to recover the Kaisufuu. If you take the list of "magical fields" 
Ranma had on him from his discussion with Eiko in chapter 4, and compare it 
to to list of fields remaining after Eiko "cleaned up" from the nekoken in 
chapter 7, you'll quickly realize that the variable water trigger is *gone*.

IMO, the really neat thing about this style of control is that he can
then readily change between either form with proper clothing already
available in his sub-space closet.  I see some comedic events
resulting from his not getting the right outfit chosen as he first
learns, though :)  Now, if it could also do the cosmetics and jewelry
as well...

Taking notes Mark? :) :)

Robert.

Don't need to - you appear to be reading from *mine*, you dirty rat you. :)
