That is actually my understanding of T1. You only lose the prep you are working on, so if Kei'taro was currently prepping Thunderbird, he'd lose the third prep, but each subsequent hit, imo, wouldn't take away the second and first. And if he'd stop charging Thunderbird before the hit, it would be safe from losing a prep from being hit, but whatever else he was prepping in the post just before getting hit wouldn't be. 

Question, how many preps did the circle have vs how many the time-weaving(which is actually a name for one of the many no-nos in combat RP) sword has?

Is that last question a serious one?
