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}}
== Accessing the Spiritual Realm ==
Future sight always draws upon the Spiritual Realm to work.{{wob ref|8147}} In general, future sight has been said to be dangerous in the cosmere.{{wob ref|8904}} Any time someone sees the future, it will have ripples against someone else's ability to see the future.{{wob ref|11882}} Future sight can be used to gain knowledge of where and when the user needs to be somewhere,{{wob ref|10011}} and what they need to do.{{wob ref|2567}}{{wob ref|738}} This ability is not perfect, and can sometimes tell a user where they are suppose to be without them knowing why they need to be there.{{wob ref|2567}} Future sight can also alert to user of the presence of certain objects.{{wob ref|2753}}
'''Shards''': [[Shard]]s can perceive the future, although it can be difficult for them. Some are better at it than others, with [[Cultivation]] and [[Preservation]] in particular being noted as particularly excelling.{{book ref|sa1|75}}{{wob ref|5309}} Shardic power can also be utilized by others to perceive the future like they do: examples of this are [[atium]], as well as the visions of the [[Returned]].{{wob ref|4645}}
'''Allomantic Electrum''': In [[Allomancy]], burning [[electrum]] will reveal possible futures of the Allomancer up to several seconds, by casting electrum shadows of oneself.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} While burning electrum the Allomancer's future will not be revealed to enemy Allomancers burning atium. Instead, it will cause the Allomancer's observed atium shadow to split, preventing the enemy Allomancer from predicting one's actions.{{book ref|mb3|3}}
'''Allomantic Gold''': In Allomancy, 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}}
'''Allomantic Malatium''': In Allomancy, flaring [[malatium]] allows an Allomancer to see not just a malatium shadow of a person, but seems to give them a glimpse into the Spiritual Realm, allowing them to see a vision of a past event in another person's life by seeing their [[Connection]] and their past.{{msh ref|1|1}}
'''Allomantic Atium''': In Allomancy, burning atium allows the Allomancer to see a few seconds into the future, by producing atium shadows of everything in sight. These shadows perform future actions. Burning atium expands the Allomancer's mind to be able to accept and process all of the information, even allowing the Allomancer to dodge incoming attacks from behind. If another Allomancer burning atium is encountered, the atium shadows will split, since each seeing into the other's future means that they can both make different decisions that affect both Allomancers' outcomes. An Allomancer's atium shadow will also split when burning electrum. Burning [[duralumin]] with atium will allow Allomancers to see the ultimate effects of their actions, allowing them to peer into the Spiritual Realm.{{wob ref|3610}}

'''Voidbinding''': Using [[Voidbinding]], the Voidbinder gains the ability to see the future.{{wob ref|8461}} When seeing the future, the Voidbinder sees it as stained-glass images. The ability is shown to be imperfect, as the events [[Renarin]] foresaw during the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]] did not come to pass.{{book ref|oathbringer|118}}
'''Regal Forms of Power''': By staying out in the [[Everstorm]], [[singer]]s are capable of bonding with a [[Voidspren]], which has the effect of changing their form, which alters their physical appearance and mental capabilities.{{book ref|sa3|I-6}}{{wob ref|9897}} One [[Regal]] form of power is nightform, which allows the user to predict the future.{{epigraph ref|sa2|23}}
'''Riino''': [[Riino]] has an ability to predict the future, assisted by some sort of shining globe. Whatever the globe is, it isn't a [[fabrial]], as it doesn't feature a gemstone. While Riino himself mentions that utilizing it requires specific training, the globe can grant visions to the uninitiated. It requires that its surroundings be highly [[Investiture|Invested]], which is why Riino uses it only during a [[highstorm]].{{book ref|sa3|97}}
'''Returned''': The Returned are resurrected humans on [[Nalthis]]. [[Endowment]] gives some people a glimpse into the Spiritual Realm, which lets them see a possible future. She then offers a chance to Return and change the events of the vision.{{wob ref|5943}}{{wob ref|9589}}){{wob ref|143}}
'''Moelach''': [[Moelach]] is the source of the [[Death Rattle]]s, visions of the future experienced by people on [[Roshar]] during their final moments of life.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|103}} Those experiencing the visions will often speak aloud in their final moments to communicate what they are seeing.{{book ref|sa1|71}} The visions are typically cryptic utterances.{{epigraph ref|sa2|82}}
'''Wulfden''': [[Wulfden]] uses some form of magical foresight.{{annotation ref|Elantris|chapter=62-1|link=annotation-elantris-62-1}} Using this, he was able to inform [[Fjon]] of [[Hrathen]]'s location. The source and extent of his powers are unknown, though it appears to be related to [[Dominion]].{{wob ref|4682}} His ability to see into the future have parallels to other temporal abilities in the cosmere.{{wob ref|4645}}
'''Aviar''': [[Aviar]]s create a bond with a person and grant a specific power based of the type of Aviar bonded.{{book ref|sixth}} One type of Aviar bestows the ability to a person to see visions showing their possible deaths in near future (roughly a minute). These visions manifest in the form of an image of the individual's corpse in the area where a death could happen. The Aviar has control over when they share this ability, and with whom.{{book ref|sixth}} The Aviar must form a [[Connection]] with each person to share the talent, although this bond is not as strong as similar bonds on other planets.{{wob ref|11628}} The Aviar also see the visions.{{book ref|sixth}}
'''Hoid''': [[Hoid]] has access to an ability that allows him to make use of the Spiritual attribute of [[Fortune]],{{wob ref|2567}}, which grants him a limited amount foresight.{{wob ref|10011}} Hoid's Fortune ability gives him an innate knowledge of where and when he needs to be.{{wob ref|10011}} While this ability may grant him knowledge of what he is to do,{{wob ref|2567}}{{wob ref|738}} usually Hoid does not know why his ability has brought him to a specific place.{{wob ref|2567}} Hoid's Fortune ability is not infallible, occasionally it directs him to go somewhere, but either nothing notable is happening or he is unable to discover the reason why he has been led there.{{wob ref|5821}}
