* Refactors the Light Eater and gives it some flavortext. Some minor behavior changes included. (#55551)

Converts the effects of the nightmares light eater into a component and a couple elements
Adds some flavor text to the light eater
Makes the effects of the nightmare's light eater dispel if the armblade is destroyed
Probably a net increase in code quality
More flavortext
The nightmare's light eater effect can be dispelled if you are willing to sacrifice the armblade

Datum Component System (DCS)

Concept

Loosely adapted from /vg/. This is an entity component system for adding behaviours to datums when inheritance doesn't quite cut it. By using signals and events instead of direct inheritance, you can inject behaviours without hacky overloads. It requires a different method of thinking, but is not hard to use correctly. If a behaviour can have application across more than one thing. Make it generic, make it a component. Atom/mob/obj event? Give it a signal, and forward it's arguments with a SendSignal() call. Now every component that want's to can also know about this happening.

See this thread for an introduction to the system as a whole.

See/Define signals and their arguments in __DEFINES\components.dm
