Lotsa good stuffs in here. Thanks everyone! Now, can anyone tell me what exactly are will and intent?
Spoiler alert! That last question is what the pros call "stalking facepalms"
Odd thing though, I think I agreed with everything everyone wrote in here. Seems like y'all are saying the same thing from different positions. Or maybe I've just gotten worse with words. Anyhow the following seems to be a bit useful to me...
Will... concentrated effort, requires a lot of energy, direct path to attainment, centers around self, must be maintained until effect occurs. The force that causes the muscles to flex when lifting a heavy weight.Intent... unconcentrated effort, requires little energy, abstract path to attainment, does not center around self, magnetically maintains itself. The force that allows the weight to be lifted.
Because intent requires much less effort to have great effect, will seems almost pointless. But I wouldn't suggest abandoning it altogether.

And being meta-mind has led me to where I'm at on my sorceric journey, (in a few notable ways before realizing I was doing anything typically shamanic or what-have-you). But awareness and intent! Sounds fabulous. I'm workin' on it.
