Editing List of D&D Spells (section)

== [[Magic Missile]] ==
One of the first spells wizards learn.  The damage it does is pretty small, but it is extremely useful because it never misses and since it does force damage, very few enemies in the game are immune or resistant to it. Exactly ''how'' useful it is depends a lot on your edition; in earlier editions, where wizards get fewer spells, it's largely pointless until later in the game and you're better off taking spells like Sleep, Color Spray or Grease instead as a 1st level wizard. Later editions make it drastically stronger.
