Here's my thoughts:

Solution A:  Steal resource allocation only from the first task you
encounter that has "RA" assigned to it.  In this case, it would leave an
overallocation:

TA has RA @ 0%
TB has RA @ 50%
VZ has RA @ 80%

Solution B:  Loop thru the tasks and take as much as you need until
vampire task need is satisfied.

TA has RA @ 0%
TB has RA @ 0%
VZ has RA @ 80%

Solution C:  From solution B, it should not be a big stretch to:  Loop
thru the tasks and take as much as you need, so long as their priority
is lower.
