The Eldritch Scion's Eldritch Pool replaces the arcane pool, but I was wondering if it also means that archetypes that modify the arcane pool do not stack with it.
For instance the last sentence of Eldritch Pool says
This has no effect on the eldritch scion’s skills or skill points. This ability replaces arcane pool, and abilities that modify arcane pool also modify eldritch pool.
The Greensting Slayer archetype modifies the arcane pool. Now normally, I know if two archetypes touch the same class feature, then they cannot be taken together, but the wording on Eldritch Pool specifically allows abilities that modify arcane pool to also modify it. So ultimately, my question is: can I take both of those archetypes at the same time?

Hmmm, I would say yes because of the abilities that modify arcane pool also modify eldritch pool part, but, that's just my opinion of how I'd rule in my own games.

No, you cannot combine Eldritch scion with another archetype that replaces or alters arcane pool. The modify line means feats like Extra Arcane Pool and Arcana that utilize the arcane pool still work, but doesn't override the archetype restriction. Its the same as Bloodrage and Rage, different names but anything that modifies rage modifies bloodrage. The intent is so they don't have to alter all the magi feats to read arcane pool or eldritch pool.
