[MoM] Lucent Barrier blocks sunlight #76640

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Lucent Barrier already blocks harmful radiation; for albinos (and XE vampires) this should include common UV radiation from the sun.

Solution you would like.

MoM powers can already supplement or even remove harmful traits. It seems balanced enough for a mid level concentration power to make it safe to walk out in the sun. It is notably stronger for XE vampires, but it is quite risky for a tier 4 or 5 vampire to have only a single concentration power between themself and death to the sun.

Describe alternatives you have considered.

We actually had a discussion about this earlier and in XE, vampires' aversion to sunlight is mystical, not scientific--it's not that they're allergic to UV radiation or anything, it's that they're creatures of darkness who are burned by the pure light of the glorious sun. So they'd have to block all light to save themselves.

Albinos using it is reasonable, though.
