This is probably the more interesting method to use for a pit fight. It reduces cheese, and makes Edge strategy more costly. Here's a question to tack on though: If you've spent all of your Edge, can you still burn it?
Yes you can.
Edge Points are not Edge Attribute.
4a page74:" A character's Edge Attribute represents he number of [b/]Edge Points[/b] a character has to spend during gameplay. Edge points can be used for a wide range of benefits, each noted below"
If a character burns a point of edge, I think their available ppol would shrink. If they don't have any left - such as a situation in which you would NEED to burn a permanent edge - then they can still do so.
But yeah, the edge pool and the level of your edge attribute are different. Related, but different. Spending edge draws from one, burning from another.
