Not cool at all. That's the point: to have a 'mastery' is to be competent at something. Why should having a 'W' written on your character sheet have to be 'cool' or 'awesome'? It is a game mechanic, nothing more. For your character to be 'cool' or 'awesome', your character must have W2 (does a 'cool' or 'awesome' critical practically all the time) or more.
