Ranma quickly scanned the pages, already preparing to toss the book back on the shelf and grab another to quickly skim. Then he paused, and his eyes slid backward to confirm the two words he had seen.
The Nyannichuan curse of Jusenkyo is an unusual one, causing many problems, but also offering intriguing opportunities to experience new and different sensations.
Ranma nodded, recalling the taste of the Parfait that had always seemed too 'cute' to eat as a Guy.
For one willing to explore the sensations made available from the other body, the path of Ex-Stacis will simplify many of the problems of the curse, halting uncontrolled transformation during the pursuit of experience, and granting total conscious control when the sensations are fully explored.
Ranma blinked, his grip on the book tightening. "I can't believe I found a cure in the library of all places." He whispered to himself. He glanced around for someone trying to steal the book away. Not seeing anyone, he looked back at the book, skipping all the technical sounding details to the final passage, describing how the Path of Ex-Stacis could be embraced simply by speaking the written words. In a low voice, Ranma spoke the words written. With each syllable, he could almost feel power gathering around him, and with the final pronouncement, that power came loose with a snap, flowing through him like a miniature lightning bolt that left him unhurt but tingling.
The book would have grinned if it had a mouth. With the invocation, Ranma had just sworn himself to explore all the sensual feelings his girl body could produce, with the book acting as his guide. Not only was Ranma now bound to the book by True Ownership, but the Book now had a limited capability to wield magic on it's own initiative for the purpose of guiding Ranma on his new sworn path.
