🧩 Shards and stars (ascension)

Shards of a specific skill: 100 to unlock the skill (1★ right away), then stars at a per-step cost:

Step	Legendary	Epic	Rare
Unlock skill (1★)	100	100	100
1★ → 2★	100	100	100
2★ → 3★	100	100	200
3★ → 4★	100	200	200
4★ → 5★	100	200	300
5★ → 6★	200	300	300
Total from zero to 6★	700	1000	1200

ParadoxThe HIGHER the skill rarity, the CHEAPER its ascension in shards: legendary 700, rare 1200. The expensive part of a legendary is the level EXP.
