Bladebound Magus: Arcane Pool Bonus Stacking

[Evershifter]

Hey all.

About to play my first magus, just wanted to clarify something.

At 3rd level I'll get my black blade. It is +1.
I can use my Arcane Pool to grant an additional +1, for one minute, as a swift action.
I can use my Blade's Arcane Pool to grant it an additional additional +1, for one minute, as a free action.

So, I can have a +3 sword, for a short amount of time, if I wanted to, yes?

Um. Black Blade Strike gives +1 damage for 1 minute as a free action.

So not quite a +3 sword. It will be +2. But with additional +1 damage above and beyond the normal +2 damage from being a +2 sword.

Avian has it.

Ahh. Yes, reading the actual words, rather than just noticing the numbers, helps.

Thanks!
