If the character is far from his goal, you might subtract more than you are allowed. 

my @points = ([10,12,'HP'],[10,17,'Mana'],[10,7,'Spells']);
my @need = (40, 40, 40);

You have 30 and need 120
You need 90 more, and you gain them at 36 per hour
That should take 90/36 hour(s).
New value for HP: 10
New value for Mana: -2        <-----------
New value for Spells: 22

    In that case, it is better to wait to do any shuffling. The total time required to achieve your goal will be longer if you choose a sub-optimal distribution of points. As I noted in my now-often-updated original post, there's no reason you shouldn't just wait until you have the required number of points, anyway.
