Would the same rule apply to combat pool? Dumping combat pool into an
attack should, under your rules, make the attack take longer since the
character is better preparing the attack.

Hmmm....Yeah, why not.
And as an side effect combat would become more interresting and it would
take away some of the actions from the faster ones....

combat pool is based on atribs, so its more an instinctive ability,
call it survival instinct or such.
And Magic pool is based on a skill, so its a learned ability.
