How long is a day in the Mana World, relative to a day in Earth time? Or does time pass in this world at all? These questions are to be answered later on...

Day/night system
Day and night system would allow the game to have a day state and a nocturnal state. Giving the possibility to add multiple monster spawn sets. All point mentioned below are merely possible effects.
Day would..
- Enable light mapping
- Enable Day time animals to appear
- Open all shops
- Give light magic more power
- Enable diurnal NPCs to appear
Night would..
- Enable nocturnal animals to appear
- Make ghosts appear? (what kind of ghosts? creatures or playerghosts?)
- Allow players to commit burglary
- Make magic and fire look even cooler
- Maybe give access to places hidden in daylight (doors that show only in moonlight)
- Be the perfect time for a secret clan meeting
- Make darkness magic more powerful
- Enable nocturnal NPCs to appear
- Enable player to do moonshining (illegal distillery) on the mountains and sell the bottles during day
- Mining or recollecting of magic stones and flowers (which glow in the dark)
