About The Pull Request

This PR significantly reduces the brightness of see_through_dark Why make this change?

I have always thought it to be too bright by default. Even without a light source you could easily see what was around you within the lit up area.
Seeing in the dark is cringe.
This change will make maintenance and other unlit areas feel spookier because you will have a harder time seeing.

To the uninitiated, this is what I'm talking about: (the lit up area around the spessman)

How Does This Help Gameplay?

It doesn't help gameplay its more of an atmosphere change if anything at the cost of being able to see in the dark.

How Does This Help Roleplay?

Maintenance will be spookier and harder to navigate for everyone allowing you to stay properly hidden and concealed in darker area's without much effort. Immersion or something.

Maybe in the future make the dark vision quirk brighten and extend this just a tiny bit. Depends on how feasible that is.

I'd much rather see Dark vision be a pseudo night vision that brightens all darker area's instead of working with this.
