according to the rules you may only have 12 power dice at the same time. if I roll a double 6 when generating power dice do I lose my banner of sorcery for that turn or can I use 3 PD and then activate the banner?

Depends on the exact wording of the Banner of Sorcery. If it specifies that you may use it at any time during the phase, then yes. If it doesn't, then this bit of the FAQ applies:

Q: If I have a special rule that generates power or dispel dice at
that doesn’t state when they are added or specifies they are added at
the start of the Magic phase, when are these dice added to the
pool?(p30)
A: They are added after rolling for the Winds of Magic but
before any casting attempts have been made.

If I remember correctly, the banner falls under this FAQ, and so in your example, your banner is "wasted". But then, you still have 12 dice in your power pool.

Based on the wording it would probably happen at the start of the magic phase as it states that D3 power dice are added to your "pile" implying that it is cumulative at the time of winds.

Yes. If you happen to roll 12 for your Winds of Magic, you effectively 'lose' the D3 PD from the Banner of Sorcery.

Fixed.

I agree. Hey guys, long time no post, I know.
