=== Lifelight ===
Cultivation has her own form of gaseous Investiture, [[Lights#Lifelight|Lifelight]], that is comparable to the Scadrian [[mist]]s,{{wob ref|12207}}
Lifelight takes up the middle note on the Rosharan [[wikipedia:Tritonic scale|tritonic scale]].{{book ref|sa4|69}}
Surgebinding is a magic system derived from both Cultivation and [[Honor]].{{wob ref|1640}} To Surgebind, a person must bond a [[spren]], which grants them the ability to inhale [[Stormlight]] and use it for various purposes, chief among them self-healing and manipulating [[Surge]]s, the fundamental forces of Roshar.{{wob ref|7663}} Some Surges are more inclined towards Cultivation, while others are closer to Honor. Additionally, some of the Radiant spren appear to be closer to Cultivation than others.{{wob ref|10649}}
The spren capable of forming the Radiant bonds are likewise a mix of Cultivation and Honor's [[Investiture]]s; as such, a [[Shardblade]] is a mix of her and his metals.{{wob ref|11949}} She is able to acknowledge the oaths of [[Knights Radiant]]s.{{book ref|sa4|60}}{{book ref|sa4|115}}

The Shard of Cultivation was created during the Shattering, and was subsequently taken up by [[Koravellium Avast]]. She and [[Honor]], with whom she was romantically involved, departed the site of the Shattering, [[Yolen]], and ended up on Roshar.{{wob ref|2786}} There, they became the gods of a local sentient species known as the [[singer]]s. However, following [[Odium]]'s arrival in the [[Rosharan system]], the two Shards ended up siding with human newcomers instead.{{book ref|sa3|111}}
At an unknown point in time, she created the [[Nightwatcher]], who became both infamous and deeply sought after for her ability to grant banes and boons with the [[Old Magic]].{{book ref|sa3|114}} She also created the [[Sibling]] alongside Honor, who became vital in the functioning of [[Urithiru]] and the fight against the [[Voidbringers]].{{epigraph ref|sa3|67}}
Although Cultivation assisted Honor in fighting Odium, Honor still perished.{{wob ref|2729}} Following his death, Cultivation withdrew in grief, and appeared to have lost all interest in aiding mankind any longer.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} This was not entirely correct, however -- rather than hiding, she was planning.{{wob ref|8669}}
