	In ~~short~~, the pool tied to a class's spell list goes first, then the pool tied to an ichor colour, then the pool tied to an item type~~, and~~ Deception, which can pay for anything, always goes last.		In general, the pool tied to a class's spell list goes first, then the pool tied to an ichor colour, then the pool tied to an item type. Deception, which can pay for anything, always goes last. Gadgets are the one exception: Tinkering is spent before the ichor pools.

	A class or ichor ~~pool is only used when the item matches it:~~ a Druid scroll never draws on Arcana, and a Red Ichor potion never draws on Medicine. A spell on more than one class's list can draw on each of those pools, in the order shown. "Other Ichor Consumables" are single-use items crafted from ichor that are not potions or gadgets, such as the Revival Serum.		Performance, Religion, Nature, and Arcana only pay for scrolls of their own class's spells (Bard, Cleric, Druid, and Wizard or Sorcerer). Coercion, Diplomacy, and Medicine only pay for items whose recipe uses their ichor colour (Red, Blue, and Green). So a Druid scroll never draws on Arcana, and a Red Ichor potion never draws on Medicine; a pool that does not match the item is simply passed over. A spell on more than one class's list can draw on each of those pools, in the order shown. "Other Ichor Consumables" are single-use items crafted from ichor that are not potions or gadgets, such as the Revival Serum.

	~~Gadgets are the one item type where the item-type pool comes first: Tinkering is spent before Coercion, Diplomacy, or Medicine~~.

			== Free Item Use Priority ==
			Several skills can pay for the same item. When you use one, every pool that applies to it is added together:
			*If the total covers the item's cost, the item is free. Points are taken from the pools in the order shown below, moving on to the next pool once one runs dry, so a single use can draw from several pools.
			*If the total does not cover the cost, no points are spent and the item is used up as normal.
			*A pool you have switched off is skipped. Open the Skills: Free Uses window with ''/skillfree'', or the '''F''' button on the character sheet, and click a pool's row to switch it on or off.
			*Before any skill pool, gadgets are first offered to the Gadgeteer's ''Utility Belt'', and then charged items, gadgets, potions, and scrolls are offered to a Rogue's ''Use Magic Device'' (Moxie) when it is switched on.

			In short, the pool tied to a class's spell list goes first, then the pool tied to an ichor colour, then the pool tied to an item type, and Deception, which can pay for anything, always goes last.
