'''Magic Missile''' is a Primary [[Wizard skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|Level]] 1, invoking a bolt of arcane magic thrown against an opponent.
<br><br>__TOC__
==Background==
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]]).
<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]]in February 2012, and Magic Missile was classified as a Primary skill (but still remained level 1).
