Summary

Closes #62

Adds five Essence Infusion upgrades (I–V) to give essence an ongoing meaningful use deep into a prestige run, when gold upgrades are all purchased and essence reserves are in the trillions with nowhere to go:

Upgrade Cost Multiplier
Essence Infusion I 1T essence ×2 global
Essence Infusion II 5T essence ×2 global
Essence Infusion III 25T essence ×2 global
Essence Infusion IV 100T essence ×3 global
Essence Infusion V 500T essence ×5 global

All five start unlocked: true (no prerequisite boss or quest required) and cost zero gold and zero crystals — they are purely essence sinks. Combined, they provide a ×120 global income multiplier for players willing to pour their essence reserves into the guild. The About panel's Upgrades section is also updated to inform players these exist.

CDN art assets will need to be generated for IDs essence_sink_1 through essence_sink_5 in the upgrades folder.

Adds five global income multiplier upgrades (Essence Infusion I–V) purchasable
purely with essence at escalating costs (1T → 500T essence). These give late-
prestige players a meaningful ongoing use for the massive essence reserves that
accumulate once all other upgrades are purchased.
