Your magic pool takes whatever the appropiate value is. If you're casting
spells normally then you use the spellcasting concentration or the base
sorcery skill which ever is higher. Of course if you do have a concentration
in spellcasting any ritual sorcery will probably have a smaller magic pool.

As to specialisation well I don't have the book here so I can't check, however
wouldn't that be for a specific spell ? Not something I'd recommed, too
limiting, go for specific spell foci instead.

It changes depending on what you're doing, like all concentrations and
specializations.

The size of the magic pool will change depending upon the spell being cast and
the method of casting.

If instant Sorcery, use Spellcasting or the appropiate spellcasting
specialization.

If Ritual Sorcery, use Ritual Sorcery or the appropiate ritual sorcery
specialization.

The Magic Pool would vary depending on the specialisation in use so it could
be say 5 for normal spellcasting and 7 for Ritual Spellcasting.
