What to build

Enhance the sound design for the horizontal battle arena. Build on the existing synth engine in sound.tsx but add arena-appropriate sounds — ambient background, spell cast audio cues, combat impact sounds, and improved volume/gain levels.

Changes

Improve gain levels on existing SFX (see issue #43)
Add ambient arena sounds (subtle magical battlefield ambience)
Add spell cast sounds — distinct audio cues when a spell pattern is detected
Add directional combat sounds (damage thud from left/right, heal shimmer)
Consider spatial audio positioning (sounds from opponent side vs player side)

Acceptance criteria

All existing SFX are audible at proper volume (fix gain issues)
Ambient arena background audio plays during duels
Each spell type has a distinct cast sound
Damage/healing have distinct, directional audio cues
