The mage Froderick looked over the procedure, wondering exactly how Ranma had screwed it up and gotten what he had gotten. Sure the boy had some natural affinity for chaos, but this was something beyond what he'd have expected.
Which was a living, breathing, Rei Ayanami in a maid uniform. Not exactly the sylph that was normally conjured by the ritual.
Rei the Sylph was in the backyard doing martial arts kata. When Ranma had cast Riofald's Arcane Enhancement, it had copied knowledge from Ranma and given it to the magical construct. So while Rei was still fairly emotionless and quiet and introspective - she now knew almost everything Ranma did because Ranma had been trying to give her information on language and how to clean and cook. By the time he'd broken it off, the albino had about the level of martial arts knowledge he'd possessed when he'd learned the Hiryu Shoten Ha.
And man, did she have an edge on the Soul Of Ice.
Ranma had only seen a couple of episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion, so he wasn't too sure about how faithful a copy this was. For that matter, he kept getting the impression that this was Rei Ayanami or a version of her. Maybe it was just nerves or reading too much into the appearance.
Ranma continued to focus, trying to duplicate exactly what he'd done when he'd gotten Rei out of Ellran's Immortal Animation.
Froderick watched as the fog of magic gathered. As Ranma made a downwards slash with his athame that was five degrees off. As the mobius strip cut from the fog was twisted in an odd direction and spinning?!
The rest of the fog seemed to pour as watery clay into an invisible mould, one that showed a distinctly female outline but was still rough.
Froderick kept track of the differences Ranma was making as he went, and how the apprentice was sweating heavily and beginning to shake - signs of the immense stress he was feeling as the magic bucked and shifted as it tried to free itself from his control.
The final gesture came, and the fog-form shrank in on itself, solidifying. The maid uniform was identical to the one Rei had appeared in.
