Follow-up to #112 (ankh resurrection). The ankh currently renders as a placeholder diamond and the resurrect FX is silent, because the UO art is not in the pack yet.

Add the ankh static: item_ankh = 0x1D98 is already registered in the extractor manifest (tools/IsoMmo.AssetExtractor/Program.cs) — confirm the exact frame.
Add a resurrect_sparkle effect animation to the effects set (like heal_sparkle/shield_ward).
Rebuild the pack (just pack "<UO client dir>") and commit assets.isoa.

Blocked on a classic UO client with .mul files (the Mondain's Legacy installer is InstallShield/Windows — not extractable on macOS in practice). Do this on a machine where UO ML is installed.

Definition of Done

Double-clicking an ankh shows the real UO ankh static (no placeholder diamond).
Resurrection plays a visible sparkle effect.
assets.isoa committed; repo still shippable without the pack (placeholder fallback intact).
