The '''Old Magic''' is a manifestation of [[Investiture]] on [[Roshar]]. A person can gain a single unique ability from the Old Magic, but are also given a unique curse along with their boon, which may or may not be related.{{book ref|sa1|i|7}} The Old Magic predates spren bonds.{{wob ref|12681}}

There is more to Old Magic than just boons and banes; however, there is no person currently known to make use of that.{{wob ref|10819}}
Cultivation will sometimes intervene, as mentioned in some of the examples, and grant her own boons and curses in a far more calculated manner. Some characters theorise that Cultivation is using tales of the Old Magic to distract from her own interference, possibly even creating the phenomenon.{{book ref|sa4|i|12}}{{book ref|sa4|i|5}}
