Day would..

Night would..
- Enable nocturnal animals to appear
- Make ghosts appear? (what kind of ghosts? creatures or playerghosts?)
- Allow players to do burglary acts
- Make magic and fire look even cooler
- Maybe give acces to places hid in daylight (doors that show only in moonlight)
- Be the perfect time for a secret clan meeting
- Make darkness magic more powerful
