Will

"My point, though, is, I've been threatened, tortured, and bullied, bothered, grilled, menaced long since before you two were even a glimmer in your writers ink pot. I will never lead you to your staff." -- Jenkins, The LibrariansSeason 2, Episode 2Will is a character's ability to withstand psychological stress (fear, interrogation, seduction) as well as supernatural attacks (magic, psionics) or other psychological manipulation (brainwashing, hypnotism). It is a Secondary Attribute based on Intelligence.Basic Set, p.16 It is an uncommon stat for skills, but is used extensively (particularly in GURPS Horror) to resist supernatural afflictions -- and distractions.
For ordinary sapient beings like humans, Will should rarely ever go above 20, and shouldn't be less than the subject's IQ -4.

* See Fright Checks!
== Willful Beasts ==
Unlike HP, Will can be much higher than a creature's IQ. Most animal statblocks (with IQ 5 or less) have some decent amount of Will (maybe 9-10).

Cosmic Will is simply illegal. You can't stick Cosmic on attributes or secondary characteristics. And as pointed out, there would be no point in doing so, since the only purpose would be to counter a form of "Cosmic, No resistance roll" that doesn't exist.

:Buy Will limited to extra effort only. Accessibility rules would probably dictate about -35%, but given that Will is useful for lots of stuff, I'm wondering if it might be as low as -80% (remember, will costs 5/level while many Will-based skills are 4/level).
I'd call it 1/level for simplicity. Extra Effort is a very small subset of Will.
== Indexing ==
As "Will" has identical spelling a fairly common modal verb, it's rather difficult to track down uses of the attribute specifically.
