    Luck represents your capacity and desire to push the universe's limits at your peril, knowingly or not. Everything is a game of chance: from winning the lottery to just running a fool errand always had that bit of luck in play. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than to be skilled, and there is only one way to give one-hundred and ten percent. At its best, Luck will afford you inhuman amounts of things working in your favor, pushing you to do anything knowing you fortune in your favor, even when it stops being chance and more suicidal overconfidence. At its worst, your whole life is at Fate's cruel mercy; misfortune so foul that you wont dare get out of the bed fearing you may crack your spine from slipping and hitting the floor.

    LUCK - Today simply isn't going as smoothly as you'd hoped... LUCK - Miss Fortune? Sir Prise? Neither answer the call: Lady Luck smiles upon you. LUCK - Don't listen to those other thoughts; they're marred by their own shortcomings. I believe in you, even when you don't believe in yourself. LUCK - A wing and a prayer can still glide you to safety.
