Being able to tap into vast reservoirs of power, the Wills do not need to eat

They can just recharge their bodies automatically
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer
Mon, Nov 21, 2022 11:33 PM
But their bodies are still mostly human

They still CAN eat

@Overbringer

So the relationship between each Will and food is unique and can tell you something about them

One might be like “petty human needs are beneath me. I feed on the divine power of the stars!”
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer
Mon, Nov 21, 2022 11:35 PM
Another might be all “I eat like a human so as to better blend in with humans”
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer
Mon, Nov 21, 2022 11:35 PM
And another still might say “Dude have you tried pizza?”

by contrast, for a mortal, using a Will Vessel consumes a lot of energy

@quinn2win

so will vessel users eat like it's the end of the world

A human and a Will can both cast Firaga
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer
Mon, Nov 21, 2022 11:38 PM
But a Cosmic Will has like 9000 MP and can just keep casting it over and over
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer
Mon, Nov 21, 2022 11:39 PM
While a human Will can only cast it a few times before they need to stop
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer

So in an endurance match a Cosmic Will will almost always win but in just one head to head clash their advantage isn't THAT big

imo that tends to be a good 'villain' advantage since they win if it just turns into a brainless slugging match but it still leaves room for them to fall to tricks

strat to take down a Cosmic Will is get the drop on them and alpha strike

Humans can win if they can pull off an overwhelming first strike

So you have lots of moments of peering into a big cloud of smoke from an explosion like "DID WE GET THEM?"
