I cast it maybe a dozen times in 5 years of playing up to level 14. Lightning Bolt, on the other hand....If I had Magic Missile at-will I would have spammed it and used all my other spell slots for first level spells on sleep or charm person or other stuff useful outside of combat. I do see the benefit of making it require an attack roll since it's unlimited, but in a wizard vs wizard fight, rings of MM protection should be common enough, and memorizing that should be a no-brainer if you are going up against another wizard and don't want your other spells auto-interrupted. Just delay your turn till right after their next blast and the interrupt protection should go up one segment later. Bam, done.I do like the idea of an at-will choice that does more damage but requires a roll too, b/c some people like to gamble and others like to have some quick rounds that require no thought to keep combats flowing quickly for everyone, b/c wizards often take longer turns to evaluate more complex spell effects with the DM on his "big show" rounds.</blockquote>
