What are the different types of darkness in the game? There is normal darkness from not having a light radius, and darkness cast on particular squares that stops you seeing through it, but I don't know if the latter are all one type of darkness treated the same by the game engine e.g. whether someone who can see in a demon's darkness area effect can also see through Creeping Darkness cast by Doomed and vice versa.

I don't think the special types of darkness are the same. As in, being able to see through one doesn't help you with another.

well, there is magical darkness, that is cast by the horrors, and then there is the creeping darkness of the doomed.

don't think you can count the blinded effect.
