==Background==
[[File:Wiz-magic-missile1.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Magic Missile in action.]]
The Magic Missile is a bolt-type spell much like the classical {{iw|Sorceress_Fire_Spells#Fire_Bolt Firebolt}} but using [[Arcane]] energies instead of [[Elemental]] (like [[Fire]]).
==Skill Skillrune Effects==The following is a very quick listsummary. See the [[Magic Missile rune effects]] page for a more thorough summary description of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.
This was the default ranged spell at [[BlizzCon 2008]], but with [[Arcane Orb]] and [[Electrocute]] available right from the start in [[BlizzCon 2009|2009]], Magic Missile was hardly touched. It didn't seem to have changed in function since 2008.

<blockquote>''The level five MMs were quite powerful, capable of killing almost any normal monster with a single shot. The casting rate wasn’t that fast though, which was good and bad. Good because you could cast MMs forever, since they weren’t fast or expensive enough to deplete your Arcane Power. Bad because I wanted to kill faster. Faster!</blockquote>
Skill tiers were removed for the [[July 2011 Press Event]], and Magic Missile became a level 1 skill. The skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]], and Magic Missile was classified as a Primary skill (but still level 1).
