-If you lack the available [Pool](#pool) points to pay the cost of performing a task, you can pay the remainder of the
-cost from your other Pools, in the same order they are depleted by [taking damage](#the-effects-of-taking-damage):
-[Might](#might), then [Speed](#speed), and finally, [Intellect](#intellect). When you do, you don't change your
-position on [the damage track](#the-damage-track) as a result of the expenditure until after the task is resolved.

-Using this house rule, a wizard who is out of \"mana\" (Intellect points) might resort to blood sacrifice, casting
-spells by spending points from their Might Pool instead. A battered warrior whose Might and Speed pools are nearly
-depleted might yet be able to mount a defense---or final heroic act---by mustering their willpower (Intellect points).
-In either case, this is a risky strategy---placing PCs at risk of quickly moving even further down the damage track.
-However, abilities like [Mind for Might](#ability-mind-for-might){.og-ability} and [Think Your Way
-Out](#ability-think-your-way-out){.og-ability} might feel a little less special when using this rule.
