=== Old Magic and the Nightwatcher ===
The [[Nightwatcher]] is powerful spren of cultivation and that her powers are referred to as part of the [[Old Magic]].
With the lack of information on Cultivation, speculation runs rampant of what her influence may be. With Honor dead and Splintered, as well as Odium's influence in the [[Voidbringer]]s, it is possible Cultivation or one of her servants is the [[Nightwatcher]], and that she is responsible for the [[Old Magic]]. As the Nightwatcher is referred to as both male{{book ref|twok|47}} and female,{{book ref|twok|27}} its gender cannot be used to prove a connection to Cultivation.
 
Cultivation's spren is the Nightwatcher, the old magic is how the The [[Nightwatcher]] explores humans in chapter 114 of Oathbringer. Cultivation monitors the Nightwatcher's use of the old magic, and may rarely directly give a boon and curse. Prior to the events in chapter 114 of Oathbringer Cultivation claimed to not have interacted with people in centuries.
Further support for this connection is found in Interlude 9 of Words of Radiance Lift. Wyndle specifically refers to her going to the old magic and receiving his mother's blessing. In chapter 3 of Words of Radiance, the dichotomy of spren is discussed. Honor is connected to spren of emotion. Cultivation is connected to spren that represent forces. The conclusion can be made that the Nightwatcher is the Cognitive Realm manifestation of Cultivation.
