0x80050fd0 throws three sparks:

• kind 5, flags 0x30305 (no gravity; the world and objects);
• sprite 296 (TEXPOS + 3552), half-size 200, face 0xd2800000;
• 500 ms, bounce 2048, radius 0, spin 0;
• damage is the object's +0x6d (template +0x32);
• each points anywhere in the sphere: a cone about +y, 0..4096, in the object's frame;
• speed is rand % 100 from a local LCG seeded 0xbe5c on every call, so the three speeds are the same each time.

After the sparks it plays sound 48 unplaced (179 in level 16), unless 0x800c416c is 0.

Callers:

• The hub's door signs, 0x80049eec. In the player's room it draws the label, then sparkles with 0x800c416c cleared (no sound), every frame. Checked on the original: with Tommy put at (9330, -700, 20760), it ran from 0x8004a1f4 on every game frame, and the screenshot shows yellow sparkles about level 10's sign.
• Level 16, templates 111 and 441: the same think, given trigger radius 2500 by 0x8004691c. It sparkles only, no label.
• Level 3, 0x8007ebd4: a lobster at health 0 sparkles with sound 48, then goes.

The hub's sign selection moved into signs(), shared by the frame (the sparks, one set per object) and the draw (one label per level).

Test: a_door_sign_sparkles puts Tommy 1200 in front of level 10's sign (template 498, room 23). Three or more sprite 296 sparks are in the air.
