Studies for a Wizard, in how to increase the precision of Magic Missile.

Skill Design

This mastery basically makes Magic Missiles more reliable, hopefully hitting the enemies before they move away. A slower missile will rely more on thinking ahead and just dumb luck to hit, while this skill can help you damage your opponents easier. A lost spell is a lot worse than one that has not been boosted by damage-increasing talents.
