Magic pool can also be allocated toward Drain resistance too..
I don't see magic pool as an allocation of attention, but rather an allocation
of extra resouces (gained through knowledge of sorcery...etc...).

The main point for a Conj. Pool was to give some extra dice to distribute
between the success and Drain tests...

Although I agree that it's necessity is disputable.
