The SendingStone review

Magic Missile is a highly useful spell for sorcerers and wizards alike. While its damage may not be very high, its auto-hitting property ensures that it always hits its target, making it a reliable source of damage against tough creatures. It is especially useful against enemies that can dodge attacks or have resistance to other damage types, as it deals force damage which is rarely resisted. The spell's versatility is enhanced further when cast using higher spell slots, allowing for more missiles to be launched and increasing the overall damage output. Overall, Magic Missile is an indispensable spell in a caster's arsenal and should be considered for inclusion in any serious spellcasting build.
