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. It's a way of knowing things you would not know otherwise,{{wob ref|date=2016-11-29|2567|Arcanum Unbounded Fort Collins signing}} and a way where one can see the future.{{wob ref|date=2017-11-21|8481|Oathbringer Chicago signing}} It is implied that Fortune is a thing one can access,{{book ref|sa3|122}} and drawn upon.{{msh ref|5|2}} Someone drawing upon Fortune can lead to events that appear to be coincidences.{{msh ref|5|2}} The only currently known way to utilize Fortune is using [[Feruchemy|Feruchemical]] [[chromium]],{{book ref|mb6|part=ars}} but there are clearly other ways of using it (as evidenced by Hoid's usage of it{{wob ref|date=2016-11-29|2567|Arcanum Unbounded Fort Collins signing}}).

▲Though the [[Spiritual Realm]] is always how future sight works in the cosmere,{{wob ref|date=2017-11-13|8147|Oathbringer release party}} Fortune is not the exact same as the Spiritual Realm.{{book ref|sa3|122}}{{wob ref|date=2018-5-26|10298|MisCon 2018}} Fortune is one way of accessing the Spiritual Realm. Every time one uses Fortune, they use the Spiritual Realm, but individuals can see into the Spiritual Realm without using Fortune.{{wob ref|date=2018-5-26|10298|MisCon 2018}}
Chromium can be used by a Feruchemist to store Fortune, but when used Hemalurgically, it doesn't steal Fortune, but destiny.
▲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.

[[Odium]] remarked to [[Taravangian]] that the [[Diagram (literature)|Diagram]] was impressive, considering he created it without access to Fortune, or the Spiritual Realm.{{book ref|sa3|122}}
[[Venli]] mentions the [[Rhythm]] of Fortune in a context where a human might refer to luck, suggesting the [[singer]]s have some awareness of Fortune.{{book ref|sa4|77}}
Three hundred and forty years after the [[Catacendre]] on [[Scadrial]], the [[Terris]] were aware of Fortune. They knew a [[chromium]] [[Feruchemy|Ferring]]--a Spinner--could store Fortune. To most Terris, Fortune, as well as the other Spiritual metals of Feruchemy, were considered beyond understanding.{{book ref|mb6|3}} These metals were under heavy experimentation by the Terris,{{cite}} but they did not fully understand it at this time.{{wob ref|date=2016-11-22|9668|Arcanum Unbounded release party}}▼

[[Hoid]] uses the same mechanics of chromium Feruchemy--Fortune--to know where he needs to go.{{wob ref|date=2016-11-29|2567|Arcanum Unbounded Fort Collins signing}} However, his use of Fortune does not allow him to know to why he needs to be in certain places.▼
