Accepted Answer

"will on" is register-neutral — appropriate in both casual and formal contexts. Often used in sports or moments of strong desire — a spectator 'wills on' their team. Also used reflexively: 'willed himself on' when someone forces themselves to continue despite difficulty. Slightly literary in tone.
