Arcanist Blade Adept Arcane Reservoir

[Two Headed Snake]

Hi, I have a question about the way an Arcanist's arcane reservoir interacts with the rules in the Blade Adept archetype.

The Sentient Sword ability reads (emphasis mine):
"The blade advances as a black blade using the blade adept's class level in place of the magus's class level and points from her arcane reservoir in place of the magus's arcane pool."

While the Bladebound Magus ability reads:
"Instead of the normal arcane pool amount, the bladebound magus’s arcane pool has a number of points equal to 1/3 his level (minimum 1) plus his Intelligence bonus."

So, is my arcane reservoir reduced in the same way?

I'm assuming it should act like the blade bound, but as written it doesn't. So until this is errataed go nuts with it.

I'm not even sure it *isn't* written that way, it's just really ambiguous. There's only one Black Blade ability that uses points from the character's arcane pool, which is the only way that the "Magus's" arcane pool is accessed regarding the Blade.

The way it says "points" makes me think that they mean it is reduced, but it's so unclear. Why can't it say "and her arcane reservoir is affected as the Magus's arcane pool." :(
