every time you get an action at your initative but before 'anyone'
acts at that initative, yes it is all too possible to end up with
empty pools by the time you get to act becasue a bad guy when before
you at the same initative and you needed them for defense. I have had
this happen, spent all my magic pool on defense, now need to cast a
fireball before the guy with the panther hits something other than
the window! - needless to say drain resulted!
