A Limit to Willpower

Faya, the Shape of Willpower, often used comparisons to explain the principles she had to teach.

For willpower, her element of fire offered an easy image to grasp—one that clearly showed how willpower has its limits.

To keep a fire alive, you need the right amount of fuel. If the fire burns too fiercely, it will consume everything too quickly. If there’s too little, it will eventually fade away.

This time, Faya wanted to emphasize the limits of one’s willpower, and how it is used for many different things, regardless of their nature. It might be resisting temptation, or pushing yourself to study or exercise.

The pool of willpower has its limits, but it can be replenished daily—through sleep, rest, or time spent with friends and family.

Willpower alone has its limits, and that is why all the Shapes are so important.
