Demon-acute sight is a blessing in the dark, but even demon eyes need a few photons to work with; they’re not like Nichtvren with their uncanny ability to see in absolute blackness.
Демоническому острому зрению темнота не помеха, но даже демоническим глазам необходимы несколько фотонов, что бы видеть; у них нет жуткой способности нихтвренов, видеть в абсолютной темноте.
