*Since the only way this skill can be granted is by equipping a [[jewel-eyed wizard hat]], the MP cost of this skill is ''technically'' 2-6 MP, even though it will never cost more than 5 MP because the hat reduces the MP cost of all skills by 1.

*Damage and MP cost seem to vary by the player's level, similar to the [http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/magicMissile.htm original spell].  The spell shoots one missile at levels 1-2, two at levels 3-4, three at levels 5-6, four at levels 7-8, and five missiles at level 9 and above.  The spell costs 1 MP per missile, and causes 1d4+1 (2 to 5) damage per missile.

The maximum damage this can do is therefore 5d4+5, or 10 to 25 damage.
*Damage is determined by dice rolls used in D&D games. Xd4+X means that X dice are rolled, each of which have 4 sides, and their totals are added up as well as an extra X. The least you can roll is a 1 with 1 die, and with the 1 extra damage added, you will reach 2 damage. The highest you can roll is 20 with all 5 dice, and with the 5 extra damage added, you will reach 25 damage.
*This spell deals force damage which is treated as physical damage for the purposes of calculating resistances and weaknesses of monsters.
