Darkness and Vision

Abilities to see in the dark is modified:

Darkvision

Many creatures in fantasy gaming worlds, especially those that dwell underground, have darkvision.

Within a specified range, a creature with darkvision can see in dim light as if the area was in bright light. However, the creature can’t discern color in dim light, only shades of gray.

A creature with darkvision cannot see in darkness or magical darkness.

Devil’s Sight

A creature with devil's sight (and other similar abilities to see in magical darkness) can see in magical darkness as if it was dim light.

In this way, a creature with devil's sight sees better in magical darkness than in natural darkness.
