Development
The July 2010 update modified magic missile to behave more like it did in previous editions of Dungeons & Dragons. The power no longer counts as a ranged basic attack and deals less damage, but it can still be used in place of a ranged basic attack and it no longer requires an attack roll. Heroes of the Fallen Lands added the evocation keyword to magic missile. The "Class Compendium: The Arcanist" article in Dragon 401 republished magic missile with no further changes.
