== Known Users == {{for\|:Category: Old Magic}} ;=== Lift === '''Boon:''' Produce [[Lifelight]] from mass; using Lifelight to Surgebind, being partially stuck within the Cognitive Realm, vision manipulation<br/> '''Bane:''' Unknown The precise wording of her request is unknown, but [[Lift]] believes that "she was supposed to stay the same, and the world was supposed to change around her."{{book ref\|edgedancer\|1}} Lift interprets this to mean that she shouldn't age, which does not appear to be the case. Cultivation intervened and made it so that Lift's Surgebinding would be powered by Lifelight, rather than Stormlight, though the specifics of Lift's curse and boon are not known.{{book ref\|sa4\|i\|5}}{{book ref\|sa4\|60}} Lift's abilities to physically touch [[Wyndle]] and to digest food into [[Investiture]] are apparently related to one or both of these.{{book ref\|wor\|i\|9}} Lift's Spiritweb has something changed about it to allow her to convert her mass to Investiture directly.{{wob ref\|2739}} She can only convert what she is able to metabolize for nutrients to Investiture.{{wob ref\|2506}} Because of this, Lift is unable to get [[Stormlight]] from [[spheres]].{{wob ref\|8073}} Wyndle supposes that she is partially stuck in the [[Cognitive Realm]].{{book ref\|edgedancer\|4}} Lift's boon also allows her control over the [[Dalinar's visions\|visions]] entrusted to the [[Stormfather]] by [[Honor]]. She is able to enter the visions without the Stormfather's help, leaving on her own and taking [[Yanagawn]] with her.{{book ref\|sa3\|42}} ;=== Dalinar Kholin === '''Boon:''' Loss of Spiritual whispers and guilt for the murders he had committed<br/> '''Bane:''' Loss of all memories relating to Evi [[Dalinar]] sought the Nightwatcher to end the pain he was feeling after causing the death of his wife, [[Evi Kholin]]. When he finally visited the [[Valley]], he asked to be "forgiven", much to Nightwatcher's confusion. Eventually, Cultivation decided to intervene. She erased his memories of Evi, calling it a "pruning" of his memory so he could grow and heal, but made it so that the memories would eventually return.{{book ref\|sa3\|114}} As a result, Dalinar has no memory of killing Evi or anything involving her, although he is aware she existed. Additionally, when someone mentions her name, all that he hears is "''Shshshsh''".{{book ref\|sa1\|61}} ;=== Taravangian === '''Boon:''' The intelligence to keep Kharbranth intact while Rayse was Odium and the capacity to become the Shard's new Vessel<br/> '''Bane:''' The inability to have both intelligence and compassion at the same time [[Taravangian]] claims to have asked the Nightwatcher for, "Capacity. Capacity to stop what was coming. The capacity to save humankind."{{book ref\|wor\|i\|14}} Cultivation personally intervened when he asked for his boon.{{wob ref\|13097}} As a result, Taravangian's level of intelligence varies from day to day. This enabled him to write the [[Diagram (literature)\|Diagram]] on a day of particularly notable intelligence. He believes that his curse is a level of compassion inversely proportional to his intelligence; he feels little to no compassion on days of high intelligence, contrasted with days of low intelligence and great compassion "to feel pain for what he had done."{{book ref\|wor\|i\|14}} Some days he is as dull-minded as a [[Parshman]] and brought easily to tears as he realizes decisions he makes may bring death to innocents, while on others he is more intelligent and able-minded than the greatest scholar but regards everything he is ordering done with cold logic and an eye for the bigger picture of Roshar.{{book ref\|sa2\|i\|14}} The change in intelligence and compassion will still happen even if Taravangian is awake and conscious in the middle of the night.{{wob ref\|11390}} ;=== Av's family === [[Av]]'s brother's boon is unknown, as he was too embarrassed to share what he asked for. As a curse, both his hands became numb.{{book ref\|twok\|i\|7}} Av's father received a heap of good cloth, which he sold to keep his family from starving during the lurnip famine.{{book ref\|twok\|i\|7}} As a curse, he sees the world upside down. The rest of Av's brothers also went, as well as his mother. According to him, all of them except his father regret their curse.▼ ==== Av's Brother ==== '''Boon:''' Unknown<br/> '''Bane:''' Numb hands [[Av]]'s brother's boon is unknown, as he was too embarrassed to share what he asked for.
