Old Magic is a magic "system" that appears to be usable only by Cultivation and the [[Nightwatcher]].{{book ref|sa3|114}} It allows for granting another person a boon and a banecurse based on their request. The boons and banescurses can range from physical objects, such as money or swords, to mental alterations, such as making a person see upside-down for the rest of their life, or erasing memories.{{book ref|sa3|114}}{{book ref|sa1|i|7}} It even permits [[Realmatic Theory|Realmatic]] changes, such as granting a new and unique way of acquiring Investiture.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}

Although the Nightwatcher has no known agenda in her boons and banescurses, Cultivation occasionally intervenes when she can further her plans.{{book ref|sa4|i|5}} These include granting [[Taravangian]] the capacity to Ascend to [[Odium]] and [[Dalinar]] the emotional fortitude to avoid becoming Odium's champion.{{book ref|sa3|114}}{{book ref|sa2|i|14}}{{wob ref|13097}}{{book ref|sa1|61}}
