m ("controlled ways" makes it sound like there are multiple ways it is doing this. I do not think that's what this wob means, so singular suffices. Does need a period though :) I did a few very minor typsetting changes)

The Spiritual Realm is not a place.{{wob ref|11708}} The Spiritual Realm is made up entirely of [[Investiture]] in the form of [[Spiritweb]]s and the [[Connection]]s between them.{{wob ref|8812}}{{wob ref|9280}} As such, time and space are “irrelevant” or “compounded into one” in the Spiritual Realm.{{wob ref|6129}} This timelessness means that the Spiritual Realm breaks causality, but in a controlled waysway.{{wob ref|9286}}
 
Because time is irrelevant, an object's Connection to its past as well as its future can be observed from the Spiritual Realm.{{wob ref|6129}} Some beings, like [[Atium#Allomantic_Use|Seers]], [[Moelach]], [[Sak|Sak the Aviar]], and [[Shard]]s can peer into the Spiritual Realm to gain insight into the future, though some Shards are better at it than others.{{book ref|twoksa1|75}}{{wob ref|1729}} It is also possible to see into the past of others via similar means.
 
Space being compounded means that, unlike the Physical and the Cognitive Realms, the Spiritual Realm has no distinct locations.{{wob ref|4843}} This allows Shards, for example, to see what is happening on other worlds beyond their own.{{wob ref|730}} And in the Spiritual Realm, all things are one.{{wob ref|1551}}

;'''Electrum''': Burning [[electrum]] will reveal possible futures of the [[Allomancer]] up to several seconds ahead by casting electrum "shadows" of oneself.{{book ref|aolmb4|part=ars}} While burning electrum, the Allomancer's future will not be revealed to enemy Allomancers burning [[atium]]. Rather, it will cause the Allomancer's observed atium shadow to split, preventing the enemy Allomancer from predicting one's actions.{{book ref|mb3|3}}
 
;'''Gold''': Burning [[gold]] allows the Allomancer to see a hallucination of who the user could have been, known as a "gold shadow".{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}} Touching the gold shadow while burning gold causes unpleasant side effects.{{book ref|mb1|37}} Each time an Allomancer burns gold, they see a different image, as it changes depending on their current situation.{{wob ref|9996}}
