In Glossary rule “Numbers and Variables”
Change:
Unless otherwise specified, when “X†is a number, to spend X of a numeric value “V†means to subtract X from V (i.e. replace V with V-X); to gain X of a numeric value “V†means to add X to V; and to transfer X of a numeric value “V†from A to B means to subtract X from A’s V and add the amount A’s V was reduced by to B’s V. Unless otherwise specified, a rule that allows Sheep to transfer a numeric value only allows them to transfer that value from themselves to another Sheep (of their choice unless otherwise stated).

These actions may not be performed if their direct result (the result of the mathematical operation itself, before any other rule modifying it) would not be legal.

I hope I considered everything. The cons would be that this fixes the problem when we use “Spend”, But not in ant other contest.
Josh’s fix seems to cover it.
