The precise nature of Fortune
▲The precise nature of Fortune, and how it functions and is used, is currently unclear. Fortune has been described as "luck" by less cosmere-aware groups, such as the [[Terris]] three centuries after the [[Catacendre]].{{book ref|mb6|part=ars}} However, it is clear from other individuals that are more cosmere-aware that Fortune is more than simple luck.

▲In general, future sight has been said to be dangerous in the cosmere,{{wob ref|date=2017-12-16|8904|Salt Lake City signing}} so Fortune would likely be as well.
