Some damage skips Darkness

With Acolyte of Chayula's Darkness, it says damage taken is reverved from darkness before being taken from life or energy shield.
Burning Ground (at least the waystone mod one) bypasses darkness. I believe bleeding bypasses it too but it's harder to confirm, but I really believe it does.

Please check this out, I believe it is supposed to protect life/es from any kind of damage since there's no specificity in "Embrace the Darkness" description.
