This spell generates a magical bolt that strikes an enemy. Its auto-hit properties and ability to strike multiple targets at higher levels makes this a go-to attack spell for many wizards, and an especially popular choice for low-level casters.

Magic Missile
Class: Magic-User Level: 1 Range: 15"
This first-level spell conjures a missile equivalent to a magical arrow that deals 1d6+1 damage to any creature it strikes. The caster can conjure the missile within 15". The caster may conjure an additional two missiles for every 5 levels they have (so, three missiles at 6th level, five missiles at 11th level, etc.).[1]

A insubstantial, magical glowing arrow is created, which hovers next to the caster. The caster can shoot the arrow with magic, and it strikes any visible target the caster designates. The arrow inflicts 1d6+1 damage.The caster may conjure an additional two missiles for every 5 levels they have (so, three missiles at 6th level, five missiles at 11th level, etc.).[1]

Magic Missile

Target: Up to five creatures, no two of which can be more than 15 ft. apart
A missile of magical energy darts forth from your fingertip and strikes its target, dealing 1d4+1 points of force damage.

The missile strikes unerringly, even if the target is in melee combat or has less than total cover or total concealment. Specific parts of a creature can’t be singled out. Inanimate objects are not damaged by the spell.

For every two caster levels beyond 1st, you gain an additional missile—two at 3rd level, three at 5th, four at 7th, and the maximum of five missiles at 9th level or higher. If you shoot multiple missiles, you can have them strike a single creature or several creatures. A single missile can strike only one creature. You must designate targets before you check for spell resistance or roll damage.[1]
