The Seven Voyages Of Steve

Today in effects that are actually quite small on the screen but I wanted to make happen anyway: your wizard's magical "Satchel of Hoarding" (which is of course legally distinct from a Bag of Holding) now actually opens when it's collecting resources, and does a little magicky particle effect

@sinbad Nice effect! It's a little confusing to my eyes though. I think it's because:
- The shape of the rims of satchel are similar to the shape of the curved particle effects, and my eyes get confused what's what when it's all moving.
- It's hard to see there's any hole in the satchel, probably due to it not being shaded/dark inside it.
- The metal lumps move very fast in front of the satchel, then stop there abruptly while scaling down. The motion is too fast/disjointed for my eyes to track.

@sinbad That said, I also can't see what's going on in fighting games or shmups that have bright particle effects all over the screen, so compared to certain audiences I'm on the more visually sensitive end.

@runevision It could probably do with more tweaking, thanks for the feedback
