--[X] His girlfriend is some kind of martial artist right? So he must be one too.

No reason Tiffania shouldn't be able to cast other Void spells if she learned them

Yeah, with Ryouga supplying the power there should be plenty of opportunities to learn.

You mean like with the magic mirror or prayer book?
Yup, or even Louise just giving her some lessons...
Rather than offer up potentially incorrect info from the faded dregs of my memory, I'll just point you to Flere's Back to Basics thread(s) for assorted canon info.
There are organized summaries in the first few posts, but if you'd like to tl;dr the tl;dr: Void Mages each get different spell lists, and you need both the item(Tiff's is the music box) and it's corresponding ring to get the spells. Explosion might be sharable, but Tiff's might be different from Louise's.
Probably don't need to dig too deep into the world itself, as I imagine Ryoga's going to end up taking four left turns and popping out of the Tendo's linen closet with several cast members in tow before too long.

But I remember Joseph somehow learned several of Louise's spells, didn't he? Although they weren't as powerful.

Joseph had the magic mirror and the mind of god. He could steal spells.

So wait, you want Ryouga to be two-timing Akari with Tiffania and therefore turning into Ranma?
I am suddenly assaulted by the mental image of Ryouga fleeing to Ranma and begging him to be his second for seppuku. Granted, my mental image turns into a comedy act of every tanto Ryouga finds shattering against his abs, but damn, that revelation's gonna be rough for Ryouga.
Saito being recognized as another enemy of women would be pretty entertaining though. I'm real disappointed we didn't get a chance to bring Saito to the Tendo dojo last vote. With the Gandalfr runes he'd fit in pretty damn good with that quirky martial arts crowd.
Since he must have a weapon the only suitable trainer is Mousse.
Or Ranma, but that guy/girl can do anything.
Louise and Saito are commonly called a modern "Takahashi Couple" and compared to Ranma and Akane. (Which is unfair to both Ranma and Akane. They ought to be compared to Ataru and Lum from Urusei Yatsura.)
So it's not surprising they fit so well together.
Considering that Tiffania has a crush on Saito, and Saito really is a pervert (unlike Ranma) I imagine that Ryouga and Saito are destined to have a knockdown drag out fight.

So, I have been doing some research on Familiar of Zero. Apparently, the botched silencing spell was anime only. In all other mediums, it's apparently the portal that gives the person summoned from earth the ability to converse in the Halkeginian language. Which makes me wonder how the other void familiars speak the Halkeginian language in the anime, since the portal explicitly doesn't do the translating there. ...There's probably a translation spell or something.
It depends on how you handle the situation, but it is a distinct possibility.

Not in the anime. Unless Louise managed to legitimately botch the familiar spell.

[X] Look for the Tendo Dojo.
Shame on you; you horrible, terrible, deplorable human being.
Fuck that shit; Akari is literally God's gift to Ryoga for all the shit he's been through. I'm not kidding, that's Takahashi's near-literal word-for-word statement for why Akari even exists in Ranma 1/2; because she felt bad for Ryoga and felt he deserved some form of happiness. Pulling any sort of two-timing is horrible, makes Ryoga into Fanon Ryoga, robs him of one of the few good things in his life, and goes against everything he is; all because you have some beef with the girl.

Just going to ignore that chapter where Akane and Akari both showed up to visit him at his house on the same day, eh? To be fair, though, he never even managed to tell Akane how he felt, and things with Akari weren't particularly serious back then.

By end of series he pretty much accepted that he's never gonna get Akane and that Akari did care for him and all that, not to mention that Ryoga's complete pants at anything that doesn't involve 'RYOGA SMASH!' or any variant thereof. I mean, say what you want about Akari; but when the literal author of the series outright says she's there because the poor bastard deserves a break, then it seems real shitty to just toss her aside is all.

Indeed. I would have to kill her off or something. Muahahahaha.

Not really important anyway, but basically once he gets the runes he should get the language.
Other minor deviation(bringing up for completeness, don't really care) is that the translation spell works in Saito's head, not on people's understanding. He's actually speaking French when talking to Tristanians, and once he puts in the effort, it translates written text too, without affecting his Japanese ability beyond making him default to his master's native tongue.
But then I think the LN didn't really care much about those details to begin with either.

And that's why I'll be sticking with the "botched silencing spell = translating spell" explanation. That, and it'll require less rewriting.

mook.
That joke about her grandfather telling her to find someone strong before he died was funny though.
He's still alive.
Aren't the other void familiars from Halkegania?
