Could somebody maybe tweak the 'transfer' code slightly for mage pouchs?
Right now when I run my command to reload the pouch, which executes 20
"transfer <#> <reagent> from <x> in chest to <y>" commands, I get 20 lines of
"You transfer some reagents around."

The problem is that it gives the same message whether I actually had that many
or not. What typically happens is I notice that I'm out of a particular
reagent when I try to cast the spell during a party (not the best moment..),
because the transfer command led me to believe that it actually did what I
wanted it to do.

Would be so helpful if the message was checked so that it says "You only
transfer 122 olivine powders." instead of "You transfer some reagents around."
if I tried to move 200 but didn't have that many. Until then I'll keep
checking my pouch of 20 reagent types to see if any of the counts appears
wrong.. :/ I do know lots of other mages use a reload command as well.

Sounds like a reasonable idea, I'll look into it a little bit this weekend.
