Or, I sneer at your Mirror Image spell.

Nope.

I don't get it. Could someone connect-the-dots for me?

According to the FAQ, a figment targetted by a spell with a Target entry is destroyed.

Message is a first level spell that covers more targets than pretty much any other.

Message
Targets: One creature/level

The rest of it depends on a rather sketchy ruling that any targeted spell fulfills the requirement of popping a mirror image.

Since the SRD says "disappears when struck" I personally don't treat it that way.

By the wording of the spell, you need an attack roll to pop a figment. Magic Missile doesn't cut it.

The FAQ adds a new rule that targetted spells destroy figments.

That just seems way too cheesy for me, and as a DM this is an instance where I would let common sense rule.

Besides, the wording in the desription of Mirror Image in PH p.229 says the following:

'Any succesful attack against a figment destroys it.'

In this case that should propably overrule any stupidity on behalf of the FAQ.

Or do you actually think that it's in the spirit of the rules to let Mirror Images be popped by a Message spell and not by Magic Missiles?

Just curious...

No, no - Magic Missile is a targetted spell, so once you admit the FAQ ruling, it works - and so does Message.

But by the PHB wording, it doesn't - and neither does Message.

I would say that a Magic Missile that wasn't stopped by a Shield spell, a Brooch of Shielding, Spell Immunity, SR or something else, is a succesful attack.

There are no mention of an attack roll being necessary in the Mirror Image description, so I see no need to turn to the FAQ to let Magic Missiles work.

IME spreading out your magic missiles have always been a viable tactic to quickly reduce the number of mirror images.
