I must say I enjoy the "gambling" that goes into this decision on the part of a character in combat. Same feeling with aimed shots. The number of times I've heard, "Ahhrrrgghh! I should have just tried to hit him with a regular attack!"
Makes sense it should work as missile spells are DX-based and use roll-to-miss, just like using a bow; most, if not all of the rules about normal missiles also work with missile spells: Reverse Missiles, Turn Missiles, Seamanship, Missile Weapons, rules for flight, etc.
