   DAY MODE
   Opt-in via the toggle button (top-right, all screens). The
   Nightmare Spell's default aesthetic is night — this is the one
   concession to players who want to read this on a bright train.
   Rank colours are redeclared here: several of the dark-theme
   values (near-white "sacred", pale "divine") are unreadable once
   the background itself turns pale, so they get darker, more
   saturated variants instead of being reused as-is.
