I have checked the books, and we only use the term in the license and in
the bios. Thus not much to change there.
The original books only use it in the blurbs and in this sentence in
The Game Rules of 02tfc:

of Lone Wolf series), you already have your COMBAT SKILL, ENDURANCE and
WILLPOWER points and your Magical Powers."
