These visions can show both past and future events, even of situations where Renarin would not be present at the time the event depicted happens.{{book ref|sa3|117}} However, the images of the future are merely showing possible future outcomes,{{book ref|sa4|54}} and therefore they are not always accurate, and what actually happens can diverge from what Renarin sees.{{book ref|sa3|118}} According to Glys the visions are not coming specifically from Odium, but since their powers come from him it is possible that his desires influence what the visions will show.{{book ref|sa4|54}}
 
Renarin's futuresightfuture sight causes him to be a black spot in Odium's futuresightfuture sight.{{book ref|sa3|122}}{{book ref|sa4|i|6}} This is due to the fact that Renarin's ability to see the future causes a conflict in [[Fortune]] similar to the way [[Allomancy|Allomantic]] [[electrum]] and [[atium]] interact with each other.{{wob ref|11873}}{{wob ref|11882}} This effect also spreads to other people who can be affected by Renarin's futuresightfuture sight informed actions, such as Dalinar and [[Szeth]].{{book ref|sa4|i|6}}{{book ref|sa4|i|9}} This effect manifests in Renarin's visions as a blackness along the edges of the window.{{book ref|sa4|54}}
 
== History ==
The next night, while Renarin was eating the nightly stew with the [[Windrunner]]s listening to [[Sigzil]] tell a story, Dalinar arrived to discuss his vision. Renarin told him that he was reconsidering whether or not it was wise to share what he had seen with anyone else, since he suspected that Odium could influence what he saw. Dalinar told him that even if Odium was influencing the visions, it would still be worth knowing what was shown in the vision. Renarin relented and they left the circle of Windrunners to discuss.{{book ref|sa4|54}}
 
When they had reached a quieter area outside the [[Laqqi|village]], Renarin resummoned the vision so he could describe what he had seen with greater accuracy. He told Dalinar that he appeared in the vision in stark white Shardplate and was pierced by a black arrow, facing away from the image of Odium, who was depicted as a yellow and white light spreading to eternity. Renarin told Dalinar that he thought the vision was saying that Dalinar would keep on fighting small battles and never be given the chance to have an actual confrontation with Odium. He said that Odium had no reason to ever commit to an actual contest of champions, and would instead delay their confrontation indefinitely. Dalinar told Renarin that Odium had agreed to have the contest, but Renarin replied that since they had not agreed to a definite date and terms Odium would be able to push it off for as long as he wanted to. They then discussed how Odium's futuresightfuture sight was similar to Renarin's, in that they both only saw possibilities, not definite outcomes.{{book ref|sa4|54}}

Dalinar asked him if he could see anything else in the vision, and Renarin told him that there was a blackness between Dalinar and Odium. Renarin told him that this represented himself. He explained that since his futuresightfuture sight affected what he will do, it made it difficult for Odium to see his future and the futures of the people around him. Dalinar thanked Renarin for this information and told him that he did not need to hide his abilities from others. Renarin thanked him for the vote of confidence, but inside he knew that since the Vorin and [[Azish]] peoples had been told for thousands of years that seeing the future was evil they would never accept him if they knew what he could do.{{book ref|sa4|54}}
 
At Glys's prompting Renarin asked Dalinar what he thought about additional Radiants bonding corrupted spren, since that would increase their access to futuresightfuture sight. Dalinar told him that he would have to consider it since he was not comfortable yet with the idea of Sja-anat corrupting more spren. Dalinar told Renarin that he should talk to him if he has any more visions, since he also had some experience with seeing visions. Glys asked Renarin who would be good fit for another spren like himself, and Renarin recommended Rlain.{{book ref|sa4|54}}
 
Later Renarin had a vision concerning Taravangian and visited him to ask him about it. He told Taravangian that something had changed about him and asked why, but Taravangian gave no answer. Renarin told him that in his vision he was shrouded in darkness, with small point of light breaking through. He said that this meant that there was a way to redeem him, if he chose to do so. Before he left, Renarin told Taravangian that he would let him know if he found a way to help him come to a decision.{{book ref|sa4|i|9}} Sometime in the following weeks, Renarin gave Taravangian a note saying the words "I'm sorry" alongside two gemstones containing corrupted [[windspren]]. These spren were what enabled Taravangian to summon Rayse to his house so he would able to use [[Nightblood]] to kill him and take up his [[Shard]].{{book ref|sa4|113}}
