On rare occasions, Cultivation intervenes directly when someone requests a boon, likely when the boon will be of great importance to Roshar, particularly in [[Odium]]'s war. She has done so with both [[Dalinar Kholin]] and [[Taravangian]].{{book ref|sa3|114}}{{wob ref|13097}}
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.
