The amount of life a player may spend must be equal to or less than that player's life total; you can't spend life you haven't got.
Plague of Vermin
In a Two-Headed Giant game, each player on a team gets a chance to pay life. The team's life total is adjusted in between.
If a player chooses to spend life, their life total goes down immediately. This will affect how much life that player can spend the next time the process gets around to them. If a player chooses to pay life three different times during this process, for example, that counts as three separate instances of losing life, not as one.
