[[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}}

 

 

;'''Electrum''': Burning [[electrum]] will reveal possible futures of the [[Allomancer]] up to several seconds ahead 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]]. 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}}

;'''Atium''': Burning atium allows the Allomancer to see a few seconds into the future by producing atium shadows of everything in sight, which perform future actions. It also expands their mind to be able to accept and process all of the information, even allowing them to dodge incoming attacks from behind. If another Allomancer burning atium is encountered, the atium shadows will split for both Allomancers, since each seeing into the other's future means that they can both make different decisions that affect both. The atium shadow will also split when the opponent is burning electrum. Burning [[duralumin]] with atium allows Allomancers to see the ultimate effects of their actions, allowing them to peer into the Spiritual Realm.{{wob ref|3610}}

;'''Moelach''': [[Moelach]] is the source of the [[Death Rattle]]s, visions of the future experienced by some people on [[Roshar]] during the final moments of their lives.{{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 in the form of cryptic utterances.{{epigraph ref|sa2|82}}{{book ref|sa1|71}}

;'''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}}
