They wanted Magic Missile to be auto-hit like in days of old. Problem: This spell has the same name as the currently available and balanced 4E Magic Missile spell of the pre-essentials generic Wizard class and the Character Builder will not be able to handle having two descriptions for the same named power without serious re-programing. Solution? To hell with the established wizard power. Essentials demands Magic Missile works this way so it is changed for all versions of Wizards so Character Builder will work.</blockquote>
