That must be the 1st ed astral pool!

In 2nded you keep your magic pool on the astral, get astral combat
pool to replace combat pool (cha+int+will/2).
Astral pool is now initiates only = grade, may agument astral combat
pool or magic pool while astral project/percieve.

Note i think Spike preferes 1st ed rules but my memory might be off.
Would be advisable to anyone that does though to flag stuff as 1st ed
as the majority play 2nd or you might get shot at for 'getting it
right by the rules you play by'
