I like this idea and kick myself for not having thought of it two years ago. Raiding, Bargaining, etc. make Wealth HP usage "Related" as far as HP spending goes. Everything else is simply gloss.

Then he has raided four Really Nice cows and his wealth goes up by 4 (and two wasted HP, because to raise an ability is pyramidal, and 10AP buys +4 in an ability).

It's his HP, and if he wants to squander them in one splashy purchase, are you one to stop him?
