+    basically Path of Exile's trade UI
+    quickbar button puts an item in cursor; clicking on a player prompts them to accept/reject trade, via playerext
+    right click dismisses without trading, and emits a sound effect to the player (might need UI shenanigans for local sfx?)
+    cursor item should make it look like a trade-icon cursor, if that's achievable
+    on (unexpected) uninit, spawn a stagehand at player position that lasts for ~.5sec and deletes cursor item from anywhere it can find
+    (consume item drops, consume from containers within reach, consume from player inventory)

+lib frontend for playerextender, to make things a bit more convenient (also polymorphism in case playerext needs to change)
+see if activeitems can store data into themselves; if so, give phase drill its own battery?
+alternative, tip-glow-only effect for phase drill when cursor is too close to player
+^ actually, just add particles to beam tip and snap them to the lens if too close
+- some sort of animation for the beam during phase drill hold to make it look like it's doing something and not just sitting there
