The precise nature of Fortune and how it functions and is used, is currently unclear. Fortune has been described as "luck" by less cosmere-aware groups, such as the [[Terris]] three centuries after the [[Catacendre]].{{book ref|mb6|part=ars}} However, it is clear from other individuals that are more cosmere-aware that Fortune is more than simple luck.
