append to Stable
As a daily action, a wizard may sell an animal which is the following atomic action:
*choose an animal in their stable
*gain food equal to its upkeep cost
*subtract food equal to the number of non-Wild qualities which don’t match the Wizard’s Underling quality
*remove that animal from their stable
oh right, because you don’t have to pay for the upkeep of the new quality when you breed a creature. I keep on thinking you have to pay for all of them. I think there wouldn’t be any gain if you only got back half of the food you put in? Even considering underlings, you’d have to do a lot of work to make any profit.
I think the calculation itself is keepable in its current form if the action were changed to a weekly action.
If this was fixed so that you got less Food out than you put in, sure.
Also has potential to get people stuck for three hours if the removal is illegal, (spectral, on campaign,) which could be a big pain to roll back for.
Kaia’s got a point though: if animal upkeep is charged every feeding cycle, wizards will want to dump some of their animals.
You can always Whelp a vanilla/gaudy/wild Creature over the top of a Creature you don’t want, can’t you?

The maths gets a bit grindy here, I think. If a rival Wizard has a Distimmed Frog (where Distimmed is any quality of Upkeep 2 or less), I can breed a Giant Distimmed Frog for 2 or less Food, then sell it for 3 Food (or 4 if I’ve got the Underling for it).
That means I can (and in most cases should) breed and sell a Frog every day to keep gaining 1-4 Food.
