(I would strongly prefer that the Fortune page not be a generic future sight page at the current stage, and steer very closely to canonical uses of Fortune. I will need to look more in-depth to see if anything should be added from this, but at the present time the article makes clear Fortune is not necessarily the same as future sight/accessing the Spiritual Realm. I can see what you were going for though.) Tag: Undo |

'''Fortune''' is a Spiritual property in the [[cosmere]],{{wob ref|10298}} related to luck, seeing the future, or versions of the future.{{wob ref|8481}}
==
The precise nature of Fortune and how it functions and is used, is currently unclear. Fortune has been described as "luck" by less
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. Any time someone sees the future, it will have ripples against someone else's ability to see the future.{{wob ref|11882}}

[[Hoid]] uses the same mechanics of chromium Feruchemy -- Fortune -- to know where he needs to go.{{wob ref|2567}} However, his use of Fortune does not allow him to know why he needs to be in certain places.{{book ref|sa3|68}}
When the [[Ire]] spotted an agent -- who happened to be [[Kelsier]] -- [[Alonoe]] thought the sighting was not a coincidence, but [[Elrao]], another member of the Ire, said the use of Fortune was not related to every coincidence.{{msh ref|5|2}}
[[Vivenna]] said to [[Shallan]] that, during their trip into the [[Cognitive Realm]], [[Kaladin]] had foreseen danger by Fortune. Shallan had been suspicious, as she was told by Hoid to trust no one who sees the future -- even Hoid.{{book ref|sa3|120}}
[[Odium]] remarked to [[Taravangian]] that the [[Diagram (literature)|Diagram]] was impressive, considering he created it without access to Fortune, or the Spiritual Realm.{{book ref|sa3|122}}
Three hundred and forty years after the Catacendre on [[Scadrial]], the Terris were aware of Fortune. They knew a [[chromium]] [[Feruchemy|Ferring]] (Spinner) could store Fortune. To most Terris, Fortune, as well as the other Spiritual metals of Feruchemy, were considered beyond understanding.{{book ref|mb6|3}} These metals were under heavy experimentation by the Terris,{{book ref|mb6|part=ars}} but they did not fully understand it at this time.{{wob ref|9668}}
