Magic Missile



The Magic Missile is a magic weapon that has a chance to be found in the Dungeon's locked Gold Chests. It can also be found in Golden Lock Boxes found in Dungeon and  Stockade Crates which are fished up in the Dungeon. It fires an exploding projectile that can be controlled by holding the button and moving the cursor. If the button is released mid-drag, the missile will be flung in that direction. If the cursor is stationary on release, it flies directly away from the player. When the projectile is released, it will home-in on enemies. The projectile also emits a good deal of light.

As of 1.4.0.1, if any enemies are nearby when the missile is released, the missile will home in and attack them.

Tips

 * The missile emits light and can be remotely directed wherever there is continuous empty space, making it a good cave-scouting tool.
 * The projectile causes an explosion that can damage enemies through a one-block thick wall.
 * Can prove very useful when combined with the Binoculars, increasing the range in which you can guide the missile.
 * The missile has a high amount of knockback while being as accurate as the player can move their mouse, this allows you to knock enemies away with precision.

Trivia

 * A "Magic Missile" spell first appeared in the fantasy tabletop role-playing game  in 1974, and has appeared in countless publications since.
 * In Dungeons and Dragons, the magic missile spell always hits its target, represented by the items homing ability.
