The first time he ended up splitting into a normal Ranma and an emaciated looking Ranma who wheezed and fell over immediately.
Rei was present for this one, and made a number of comments - none of which were particularly helpful.
The second time he managed this technique was less than successful too - he ended up with a kid version of himself.
This was even worse, as the various girls had become an audience at this point, they reacted very enthusiastically to this version. As in trying to hug "little Ranma" and giving various comments about what a cutie he was.
After about a minute, the copy-Ranma poofed out - and big Ranma had to get something to eat because this was exhausting.
"Third time's the charm," mumbled Ranma as he tried again an hour later. His hands again swept through the patterns and he forced his chi to go through the appropriate patterns.
POOF!
The short busty redheaded version of Ranma took a good look at the taller masculine version and said something impolite.
"Man, this is really complicated," said Ranma.
"Apparently I've only got enough chi to pull off one more copy unless we try for just images," said female-Ranma. "Waitaminute. We and I and... oh heck ya know what I mean."
"Yeah, I imagine this could be kinda confusing," said male-Ranma. "On the other hand, it could be handy too."
"Whatever," said female-Ranma. "Should we try again?"
POOF!
Rei went over to where the female Ranma had stood. "The grass is bent."
"Nah, it wasn't an illusion," said Ranma.
Rei nodded thoughtfully. She'd tousled the hair of kid-Ranma without thinking about it, it was that the technique had ended and left physical traces that made this impressive.
Makoto picked up the scroll and began studying it herself. This could be VERY handy.
Tatewaki Kuno pushed hard with his arms and legs. "I FIGHT ON!"
The crocodile, who was simply trying to close its mouth on this particularly stubborn bit of food, was not able to or inclined to comment.
Finally, it thrashed its body from side to side, finally losing the stubborn food bit.
"HA!" declared that bit of food, as he struggled up the embankment. "You are no match for the mighty-"
grrr ROAR!
"-blue thunder," said Tatewaki Kuno, looking at the pride of lions that was now forming a semi-circle around him.
