Special Notes for using the particle effects.
All particle effects begin with a lowercase "p"
1. The first particle effect must be one of the pEmit* effects.
2. The last particle effect must be one of the pRend* effects.
3. All other particle effects must appear between the pEmit* and pRend*.
4. There must be one pMove* effect (I'm pretty sure of this).
