Okay. How about a less disturbing Negima one?
It occurred to me a while back that there's a certain similarity in basic combat paradigms between Negima and the Ar tonelico series. There's one person who stands in back and chants spells to do stuff that's really awesome but it takes a long time, and one (or more) people who stand in front and keep them from getting beat up while they do it. (And somehow, it feels more similar than just being two cases of "squishy wizard".) So I got to imagining the AT story, but with Reyvateils as Magistra Magi and the guardians as Minster/Ministra Magi. But I might be enjoying imagining Cloche and Cocona's pactio a bit too much...
Alternately, it wouldn't be too hard to imagine Negi as a Reyvateil, thanks to mini-skirt fox girl. But that probably *would* break the story into itty-bitty pieces.
-Morgan.
