Proposal:  Consistent mack spending

Amend Rule 5E29 (Mackerel) by appending this text:

      Text to the effect of "X may destroy Y macks" refers to macks
      owned by X, unless otherwise specified.

      Text to the effect of "X may spend Y macks to do Z" or "X may
      do Z by spending Y macks" should be interpreted as successful
      (with "spend" as a synonym of "destroy") if and only if all of
      the following are true:

        a) X owns at least Y macks
        b) X is not otherwise prevented from destroying Y of eir macks
        c) X is not attempting to count the destruction of any one mack
             toward more than one Z

Amend Rule 5E49 (Health, Food and Weapons) by replacing this text:

      Players may increase their Health by any integer amount, as long
      as they have at least (amount / 5) macks, rounded up. Those macks
      are then destroyed. Dead players cannot increase their Health.

with this text:

      Any non-Dead Player may spend N macks (where N is any positive
      integer) to increase their Health by 5*N.

and by replacing this text:

      A Player may Purchase a Weapon if they have the same or more macks
      than the Weapon's Cost, causing them to destroy the macks and
      causing an instance of that Weapon to be created in their
      possession.

with this text:

      A Player may Purchase a Weapon (i.e. an instance of that Weapon is
      created in their possession) by spending macks equal to its Cost.

and by replacing this text:

      If the Weapon has a Usage Cost: If the Player has less macks than
      the Usage Cost of the weapon, the usage fails. Otherwise, that
      amount of macks are destroyed in the Player's possession.

with this text:

      If the Weapon has a Usage Cost, the Player must spend that many
      macks to use the Weapon.
