Combat Message

You cast Magic Missile. X missiles of magical energy dart forth from your fingertip and strike your target, dealing [level]d4+[level] points of force damage.

Notes

• While fighting the darkness, if you cast Magic Missle, the following occurs (once per day):

You attack the darkness. An elf with blue... no, gray eyes falls out of the darkness, clutching a can of Mountain Stream. You wish briefly for some cheesy puffed corn snacks.

You acquire an item: Mountain Stream soda

• 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 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.
• 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.

References

• Magic Missile is a common Dungeons & Dragons spell.
• The combat text while fighting the darkness is a reference to Dead Alewives' Dungeons and Dragons sketch, which involves a character whose eye-color is in dispute, and someone demanding to know where the Mountain Dew and Cheetos (a cheesy puffed corn snack) are. And one guy wanting to cast Magic Missile, but having nothing else to attack, saying "I'm attacking the Darkness!"
