Extra Arcane reservoir

[pennywit]

Could somebody help me here? I'm trying to game out feat selection for an arcanist (occultist), and I'm considering Extra Reservoir:

Quote:

Extra Reservoir

Your reservoir of arcane energy is greater than the reservoirs of others.

Prerequisite: Arcane reservoir class feature.

Benefit: You gain 3 more points in your arcane reservoir, and the maximum number of points in your arcane reservoir increases by that amount.

Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.

Now, per the rules, my arcane reservoir can hold up to 3 + caster level points, and I get 3 + 1/2 my caster level in there each morning when I do my ablutions. So ... does Extra Reservoir just add to my max pool (now 3 + caster level + 3), or do I also get more points in the morning (for 3 + 1/2 caster level + 3)?

I've seen this before, but there seems to be no Word of Designers on it.

Arcane reservoir is referring to the class feature(as named in the feat pre-request). it has a maximum amount and the refreshed daily amount (which is less then maximum but can get more via other ways up to maximum). the ability name is the same as the pool so it's kinda worded badly.
basically it mean your maximum is raised by 3 points and your daily refresh (which in short is refreshed as the arcane reservoir) is raised by 3 as well. if you want to go totally raw and claim it never talk about the refreshing mechanic, then the first part of the feat ("You gain 3 more points in your arcane reservoir") has no meaning.
