"blue potion" wasn't a very good example for an item in a container;
plain "blue" isn't a potion description.

Add an extra sentence to make the association between a container's
"item count" that's really a stack count and the fact that inventory
slots are for stacks rather than for individual items too.

Style/usage bit: avoid using "another" twice in the same sentence.

Fix a typo in the spelling of "contents".
