Omens are a type of currency items. Activating an omen will guarantee a specified outcome when its condition is met, such as a guaranteed crafting outcome or an effect on the player character. Once triggered, the omen is consumed. Most omens are obtained from Ritual encounters, but some omens come from other content.

To use an omen, right-click to activate it. While it remains in the player's inventory, the activated omen will be consumed when the relevant condition is met. It is possible to have multiple related omens active at a time (e.g., an Omen of Sinistral Annulment and an Omen of Greater Annulment can be used together to remove two prefix modifiers). However, activating an omen while another, non-related omen is active may deactivate the old one.

Only one non-crafting omen can be used per area instance. Crafting omens can be used multiple times per instance, and different omen effects can be stacked, though they will typically prevent the craft if one or more omens are invalid combinations.
