Wait does magical darkness not block anything like line of site?
Darkness creates a heavily obscured area.
It never actually specifies where the heavily obscured area is. But I think it makes more sense to interpret it as only the area in darkness is heavily obscured. After all, the area behind it depends on the observer, and there's nothing about that what's heavily obscured by darkness depends on where you're standing.
On the other hand, if this just makes everything in that area dark, but still lets light pass through it, you'd still be able to see silhouettes of anyone standing in it, which really doesn't seem like it's heavily obscuring them.
No reason it wouldn't block it, not sure what OP is on about
Maybe they just wanted to improve it for Gloom Stalker Rangers?
But Umbral Sight works with normal darkness too, and if it doesn't prevent magical or non-magical light from illuminating it, people don't have to rely on darkvision to see them in that magical darkness (if it's illuminated by anything). At least the Hallow darkness effect prevents illumination, so that does work for Gloom stalkers, but this is quite literally useless.
