Yeah, I see that now, but it's still very weird to me. And the new article seems to explain why: I think of willpower as like CON, so for me it's like CON. Others think of it as HP, so for them it's like HP. I just didn't realise that there was anybody like those others before!
For me it's more like the limit break meter. When things get bad enough, it comes.
On the other hand, sometimes it's like a combo meter - the more I do, the more I keep doing.
Maybe it's more that I have a constant amount, and the challenge I'm facing varies in time.
