 '''Magic Missile''' is a Primary [[Wizard skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|Level]] 1, invoking a bolt of arcane magic thrown against an opponent.
 ==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]]).

-Magic Missile is basically a {{iw|Sorceress_Fire_Spells#Fire_Bolt Firebolt}} that deals Arcane Damage. In early levels, Magic Missile might be the Wizard's bread and butter. Using this [[skill]] fires a small purple projectile that moves across the screen in a straight line and at a fairly fast pace, and it can be cast repeatedly without any [[cooldown]].

Using this [[skill]] fires a small purple projectile that moves across the screen in a straight line and at a fairly fast pace, and it can be cast repeatedly without any [[cooldown]] or resource cost.
 When an enemy dies at the hands of an Arcane spell, a purple glow is left on the corpses.
 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>
 ===Beta===
-Skill tiers were removed shortly before the [[beta]] started in September 2011, and Magic Missile became a level 1 skill. [[Flux]] tried it out again, and reported on it:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/wizard-beta-skills-mega-report-part-one]
+{{Beta skill notes}}
 <blockquote>''Naturally, the base version of Magic Missile isn’t all that powerful. It’s great for single targets, and has nice range and quite respectable damage, but with just a single projectile per cast the Wizard can not keep up with fast spawning enemies, and MM isn’t much good for bosses either. I’m not just estimating about that either, since I actually put it to the test. MM was fine for 95% of the beta areas, including the lower levels of the Cathedral, but when I got boss packs, or set event areas of summoners, there were too many fish for my skillets, and I got overrun and had to retreat or use other skills.</blockquote>
-With the [[Beta Patch 8]] of December 2011, all [[signature skills]] became free to cast at any level. 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 remained at level 1).

 ==Trivia==
-In Diablo III, Blizzard seems to have gone back to games like Dungeons & Dragons for inspiration. A spell called Magic Missile is a staple low-to-mid level magic bolt in the traditional pen & paper RPG. The Magic Missile also increases number of missiles, as does the original. Wikipedia describes D&D Magic Missile like this.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_of_Dungeons_&_Dragons#Arcane_spells D&D Arcane Spells] -- Wikipedia</ref>
