[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8907842, member: 7030563"] It is terrible I find WOTC's claim that: "Magic Missile streaking across the board to strike your target" as being unauthorized to be VERY offensive and dirty for two reasons. 1. First they are implying that a video representation of a missile streaking across the board is their IP. It isn't, period, unless they are the ones who actually wrote the code doing it and someone stole that code. 2. NOTHING in the description of the magic missile spell even talks about anything streaking anywhere. The description of the spell says they are "glowing darts" and "each dart strikes a creature". There is nothing about something streaking. If I make a video of that, this video is entirely my creative interpretation of what it looks like. I could just as easily make the missiles come down from the heavens, and I could make them look like motes of fire. All of these examples would fit with the description in the spell as well as "missiles streaking across the board" [/QUOTE]
