Is this death manipulation resistance?

I'll try to make this brief. In Helltaker, it's stated by Pandemonica that it takes a lot of will to explore. Exploring hell uses up more and more of your will. In levels, it's depicted as a number counter, the amount of turns you get per puzzle. She also states if you run out of will, you die:

And much to no one's surprise. She's right. If your will meter runs out (your will) in the levels, your character is instantly killed on the spot. I wrote this on a character's sandbox, that this is a resistance to death manip, since their willpower negates dying instantly (Obviously only in Hell, she says it takes a lot of will to explore Hell only).

Am I right in this assumption, or is this merely a weakness of the hax? For example, think of mind-control, but its weakness is that it only works on evil people, meaning all good characters would be immune to its effects. In this case, I guess you could infer only those with no will are affected?

I'm not 100% certain on it, as I thought it was a case similar to how character's usually resisted mind-hax through a lot of willpower which grants them resistance, but I've grown curious on if this is legitimate or not.

Your will is keeping you from instantly dying so that seems fair. Supernatural Will may be viable as well.
 
Oh, yea, I definitely gave them supernatural will for that. Just not sure on the death manipulation resistance thing. I'll see what some of the staff think. If they reply to this thread that is.
