'''Cultivation''' is one of the sixteen [[Shard|Shards of Adonalsium]].{{book ref|sa1|75}} She resides on [[Roshar]], having originally come there with [[Honor]] before [[Odium]]'s arrival.{{wob ref|1169}} Her Vessel's name is [[Koravellium Avast]],{{file ref|Alethi Glyphs Page 2.jpg}} though [[Hoid]] has referred to her as '''Slammer'''.{{wob ref|9472}} Cultivation's [[Investiture]] is typically associated with the color green.{{wob ref|13074}}
== Intent ==
▲Her intent as a Shard appears to be related to transformation. According to Odium, all she wishes to see is change, regardless of where it leads.{{book ref|sa3|57}} In her own view, on the other hand, she wishes to grow things and people, and prune them if need be, to shape them in a desired form, even if she accepts that there will always be a degree of uncertainty.{{book ref|sa3|114}}
== Associated Magics ==
=== Lifelight ===
Cultivation has her own form of gaseous Investiture, Lifelight, that is comparable to the Scadrian [[mist]]s{{wob ref|12207}}, [[Stormlight]], and [[Voidlight]].{{wob ref|10578}} When visiting the [[Nightwatcher]], Dalinar sees Cultivation surrounded by green mist,{{book ref|sa3|114}} which is likely Lifelight.{{wob ref|12207}} It can both be captured in gems and serve as a power source much like the other two Lights. In fact, [[Lift]]'s Investiture that she generates by transmuting consumed food is Lifelight and not Stormlight.

=== Shattering and ancient Roshar ===
Although Cultivation assisted Honor in fighting Odium, Honor still perished.{{wob ref|2729}} Following his death, Cultivation withdrew in grief, and appeared to have lost all interest in aiding mankind any longer.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} This was not entirely correct, however -- rather than hiding, she was planning.{{wob ref|8669}}
