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. It's a way of knowing things you would not know otherwise,{{wob ref|2567}} and a way in which one can see the future.{{wob ref|8481}} It is implied that Fortune is a thing one can access{{book ref|sa3|122}} and draw upon.{{msh ref|5|2}} Someone drawing upon Fortune can lead to events that appear to be coincidences.{{msh ref|5|2}} |

| β | + | Though the [[Spiritual Realm]] is always how future sight works in the cosmere,{{wob ref|8147}} Fortune is not the exact same as the Spiritual Realm.{{book ref|sa3|122}}{{wob ref|10298}} Fortune is one way of accessing the Spiritual Realm. Every time one uses Fortune, they use the Spiritual Realm, but individuals can see into the Spiritual Realm without using Fortune.{{wob ref|10298}} |

In general, future sight has been said to be dangerous in the cosmere,{{wob ref|8904}} so Fortune would likely be as well. Anytime someone sees the future, it will have ripples against someone else's ability to see the future.{{wob ref|11882}} |
