Issue

The arcane_scholar_1 upgrade has a cost that does not follow the pattern established by its neighbouring upgrades in the same tier band. It appears to be either significantly over- or under-priced relative to what would be expected at its unlock point.

Expected Behaviour

All upgrades within the same unlock tier should have costs that follow a consistent pattern relative to each other and to the player's expected income at that point.

Steps to Reproduce

Open apps/api/src/data/upgrades.ts
Find arcane_scholar_1 and its neighbours in the same unlock tier
Compare the cost values

Suggested Fix

Adjust arcane_scholar_1's cost to match the pattern of its peer upgrades at the same unlock tier.

Priority

🟡 Medium — creates a local inconsistency in upgrade pricing
