=== Era of Solitude ===
In the late [[Era of Solitude]], Cultivation used the [[Old Magic]] at least thrice. She granted [[Taravangian]] fluctuating amounts of compassion and intelligence, ultimately grooming him to take up the [[Shard]] of [[Odium]], which required compassion, and to master its [[Shard|Intent]], which required the intelligence. {{wob ref|13097}} She made it so thataltered [[Lift]]'s Surgebinding wouldso it bewas powered by Lifelight, rather than Stormlight, though Lift's curseboon and booncurse are not known.{{book ref|sa4|i|5}}{{book ref|sa4|60}} She also intervened when [[Dalinar Kholin]] came to see the Nightwatcher and begbegged for forgiveness. Instead of this, she madeerased himall forgetmemories of [[Evi|his wife]], which served as both a boon and a banecurse.{{book ref|sa3|114}}
Unlike with all other boons and banescurses, Dalinar's memories gradually returned after the arrival of the [[Everstorm]].{{book ref|sa3|24}} This was deliberately engineered by Cultivation to give him time to come to terms with his past before [[Odium]] would try to use it to turn Dalinar into his champion.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
