Missile
College: Meta-Magic
Lets the caster fire a projectile made of pure magical energy. This has 1/2D 25, Max 50, Acc 0. Determine your odds to hit using Innate Attack (Projectile) skill. If your effective skill is 3+, you hit, no roll necessary. Your target can only defend with Blocking spells and being behind an Utter Dome/Wall.

Argh. It is wrong to think that Magic Missile can't be dodged. You have to bear in mind what the equivalent of "dodging" in D&D is. It's hit points. Magic Missiles ignore armour, and could probably operate functionally without need for a roll to hit. But they can be dodged and deflected.
