[edit] Time Travel
It states that neither Eastern nor Western mages are capable of time travel. How would one take into account Chao's time traveling device Cassiopeia? Is that not time travel? Or is this such a special case? Regardless, there should be a mention of time traveling possibilities.
- It is simply stated in the manga that time travel was not possible for both E&W mages when the Cassiopeia appeared. MythSearcher 07:52, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Magic Canceller and Love Potions
I was thinking of a much simpler and less speculation-filled reason why Negi's love potion didn't work on Asuna, while the chocolates did.
As stated in the section in the Artifacts article, Negi's love potion had an [i]external[/i] effect, radiating out from the user. Instead of the user falling in love with someone, everyone would fall in love with the user. Instead of filling Negi and affecting him, it radiated out like an amorous TV signal, affecting Konoka, Ayaka, Nodoka, and the Cheerleaders. As Asuna is a magic canceller, she was basically blocking the signal.
In the case of the Chocolates, the effect is, like classic love potions, internal. The Magic Canceller wouldn't block it, because it was already past the defenses, like detonating a bomb inside the enemy fortress.
But for this to work, you would have to assume that Asuna's Magic Canceller is more like a skin-tight AT Field than any actual magic immunity.
[edit] Numbers on Pactio Cards
Just a small thing here. It says that, in the case of Negi's class, the characters have their class numbers on the pactio card. I think it should be stated that not only the girls have this. After all, Albireo has one too. (MI, or 1,001). I'd be willing to add or change anything, but I would like to know if anyone agrees or disagrees. CrazyNekoRun 07:16, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Other Techniques and Spells
Should we cover other concepts and techinques used in Negima, such as the various Ninja techniques, Setsuna's sword strikes, Kotoro's Inugami attacks, Mana's Rankansen, or the Tankahou technique used by Asuna and Takahata? I'm sure some of these, if not all, are worthy of inclusion; at least the ones covered in the spell lexicons featured in the backs of each volume. TwilightxPrince 23:18, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
