] Dynamic underwater visibility. The deeper you go, the tighter the darkness grips you. The Night Eye spell effect is good at pushing back the darkness, and increases the distance you can see underwater.[] Vampires, or those otherwise susceptible to sun damage, may find sanctuary in the dark depths of the sea. Sun damage scales down with depth as well.
[] A Mod Config Menu is available to customize the mod's features. You can disable and enable features as desired, and change the values used for each weather.
