I'm working from a PDF - I seem to have zero actual copies left of Advanced Wiz and Advanced Melee - but it was a good scan. There couldn't be a whole section missing from page 3. So either it is somewhere really stupid, or it's not there and nobody ever made a big deal about it because they knew the rule already from Wizard.

I have my original copies still! I see under Types of Spells and then Missile Spells, for example, a procedure, being "(1) Announce target...He then makes his "to hit" roll". Under the Thrown Spells section, it talks about adjustments to DX, with the implication that that is the attribute one uses to determine success when casting a spell.
So to your point, with my quick review of my copy of the rules, it is very much implied throughout the DX adjustment phrasings, if not outright declared. But perhaps a quick mention more directly that DX is the attribute to use to determine success under "How to Cast Spells" would clear things up.
