I've just read the WindsOfDestinyChange page, and it's limited to "[[MillionToOneChance random and unlikely incidents]] happening spontaneously". All we have to do is define this trope as causing events that could occur naturally (i.e. general good luck) that ''don't'' include freak accidents.

That will not only completely differentiate it from WindsOfDestinyChange, but fill in a gap left by that trope's limitation.

Alternately, we could make this the SuperTrope for "altering/controlling luck", and WindsOfDestinyChange would be a SubTrope of it.
