Drawn By Fate

Background

Drawn by Fate refers to a phenomenon where certain artifacts, powers, or forces are inherently drawn to individuals or entities with whom they share the highest compatibility. This mystical attraction transcends conscious intent, suggesting a deeper, almost predestined bond between the object or power and its eventual user. In various mythologies and fictional works, this concept often signifies an inevitable connection that shapes the user’s journey.

It normally refers to how a hero was always fated to have a certain weapon or item, though it can also apply to villains.
