BattleFx_RunPaletteParticles

void BattleFx_RunPaletteParticles(struct BattleEffectArgument *effect, s32 mode)

A 208-frame effect of embers rising from the ground; pressing A or B
during frames 49 to 159 skips to frame 160. The targets reel on frame
138, the screen flares white over frames 160 to 175 and fades out after,
and the battle shows the damage on frame 178.
mode : 0 also brings in a formation of eight objects that sweeps in and,
         at the end, explodes with BattleFx_RunImpactBurst;
       1 throws the sparks and flashes from the user's side
         (effect->side), in the LightningBolt colours.
Four kinds of particle, in canvas coordinates with y growing downwards:
  PARTICLES[0..511]  embers: rise from y 112, speeding up; one a frame
                     over frames 33 to 103, eight a frame over 104 to 175
  particles[40..63]  sparks: one on each odd frame from 41 to 127,
                     thrown up at a slant
  particles[0..23]   flashes: one a frame over 129 to 175, thrown across
  particles[24..39]  streaks: fall at a slant from the top and, below
                     y 55, play their images over and over
An idle particle's variant is -1; a live one's counts its age up until it
goes out (a streak's counts down its wait first).

Called by BattleFx_RunTiamat (mode 0) and BattleFx_RunDragonDriver (mode 1). Sets REG_BLDALPHA and REG_BG2CNT (the canvas in front, priority 0), loads the flash and later the streak palette (or the lightning bolt's) into the first 64 background colours and brightens them over frames 160 to 175, sets work->shakeFrames, and tints and shakes the targets. Mode 0 spawns the eight formation objects and releases them after the impact burst.

Used by BattleFx_RunDragonDriver, BattleFx_RunTiamat.
