Without sarcasm is a service I rarely provide, but here goes.
Page 29 tells you what is about to happen in the Magic Phase, it says the casting player will be seeking to draw down enough power dice etc. Now just from the rule book the Magic Phase does indeed start with the Winds of Magic Roll. Without any interference the first thing you do in the Magic Phase is roll the Winds of Magic, it says so. So you do indeed start the magic phase by rolling the Winds of Magic. But the rule book doesn't take into account anything interrupting this sequence. These are the Basic rules of the Magic Phase.
But Evocation of Death has an Advanced rule, one that takes place At the Start of the Magic Phase, which is the same time as the Basic rule of Roll the Winds of Magic happens. As we all know advanced rules always override the basic rules. So we have 2 things happening at the start of the magic phase. We are told how to resolve these situations on page 10.
If they had wanted the Magic Phase to explicitly start with the forming of the Power Pools it would have said that. 'At the Start of X' is a key phrase in Warhammer and they explicitly said it in this case so I have to assume that is what they meant. Taking it as they said 'At the start of x' But they didn't actually mean that is where it's grasping.
