Little is known about the Old Magic. It is mentioned only in passing in '''[[The Way of Kings]]''' as [[Dalinar]] explains how he gained something but lost all memories of his wife by striking a deal with a powerful [[spren]] known as the [[Nightwatcher]].
In one of the Interludes in tWoKThe Way of Kings, Baxil speaks about the boon and curse of the Old Magic, as well as the residency of the [[Nightwatcher]] in the Valley. Av says "It's not a game, no matter how the stories try to put it. The Nightwatcher doesn't trick you or twist your words. You ask a boon. She gives what she feels you deserve, then gives you a curse to go along with it. Sometimes related, sometimes not."
