Still, and maybe that's just my (flawed) reading, but I'd think the reasonable thing to do is to apply Int mod once per spell cast and to whichever of the missile(s) you want. Unless you think it's OK to throw around 3d4+18 damage with a 1st level spell that allows no save. It meshes with all the other rules to the same effect that let you apply the relevant modifier - it's always once after you total the damage dice. On the other hand, when the 1st level life cleric's feature boosts his healing spells by a certain amount, it specifically mentions that the boost applies not to the spell (which would mean once no matter how many recipients you include), but to creature's hitpoints (adding the boost to every recipient's healing). In light of all this, I really don't think the empowered evocation entry regarding magic missile could be interpreted otherwise.EDIT: Hm, though that Mearls' clarification sure is... odd. I'd even say counterintuitive.</blockquote>
