Magic Missile Supplement
A flash of light comes forth from the wizard's staff, before a million dazzling lights cloud your field of vision. You swivel around, seeing the horde of bandits behind you be reduced to dust, as every rainbow dart finds its target.
The mighty dragon roars, sending caustic breath towards you and your comrades. A cool-white glow engulfs you momentarily, and you find yourself and your allies unharmed.
The Magic Missile
Wizards who devote themselves to the Magic Missile are few and far between, but their power should not be underestimated. While many wizards are comfortable with being a jack in all trades, and a master of none, Magic Missile wizards are focused on getting the most out of their one spell -- the Magic Missile.
In This Module:
This supplement contains additional Magic Missile spells, along with a new sublcass for the Wizard class, focused around the Magic Missile.
All Magic Missile spells in this module can be taken by wizard or sorcerer. Additionally, this supplement contains a new mechanic for Magic Missile spells: Rotation. This mechanic is explained in depth on Page 4, with the addition of the new spell Magic Missile Reserve.

Spell Rotation
This supplement contains a new mechanic for Magic Missile spells: Rotation. A Magic Missile spell use either clockwise or counterclockwise Magic Missiles.
The caster can use additional Magic Missiles from their reserve to empower their Magic Missile spells. Every Magic Missile spell lists what types of Magic Missile it uses.
Example: Using Magic Missile Reserve
A caster currently has two counterclockwise Magic Missile, and one clockwise Magic Missile in their reserve. The caster's highest level spell splot is 3rd level, as they are level 5.
The caster then casts Magic Missile Reserve at 3rd level, creating three total Magic Missiles. As they can have a maximum of three Magic Missiles in any given orbit, they decide to designate one Magic Missile as counterclockwise, and the other two as clockwise.
The Caster now has three counterclockwise Magic Missiles, and three clockwise Magic Missiles in their reserve. If they decide to cast the spell again, the newly created missiles will dissipate, as both their counterclockwise and clockwise Magic Missile orbits cannot hold any more Magic Missiles.
Example: Using Magic Missiles from your Reserve
A caster currently has three counterclockwise Magic Missiles, and two clockwise Magic Missiles in their reserve. They cast Magic Missile (Revised) at 3rd level, creating five counterclockwise Magic Missiles. Following the spell description, the caster then decides to use all three of their counterclockwise missiles in their reserve to empower the spell. The spell now has a total of eight counterclockwise Magic Missiles, which are all then used as the spell denotes.
The caster cannot use his clockwise Magic Missiles in their reserve, as Magic Missile (Revised) denotes that it only uses counterclockwise Magic Missiles.

Additionally, each time a creature starts its turn within 30 feet of the Magic Missile Swarm, or moves within 30 feet of the Magic Missile Swarm, you may choose for the swarm to attack it with a single counterclockwise Magic Missile. You may send out a maximum of one additional counterclockwise Magic Missile per target using your reserve.

5th-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
You may use Magic Missiles from any reserve to empower this spell, using them as additional Magic Missiles.
Using your magical expertise, you release the entirety of your Magic Missile arsenal at once, in a single destructive cataclysm.
You create five Magic Missiles of random rotation. Every Magic Missile used in this spell combines into one cataclysmic missile, which is then fired at a location within range. The cataclysmic missile creates an explosion: a sphere with a radius equal to half the total number of Magic Missiles used in this spell, rounded down. The cataclysmic Magic Missile does 2 force damage for every Magic Missile used in this spell to every target in the radius.
Due to the chaos caused by combining different types of Magic Missiles, the caster must then take 2 damage for every Magic Missile used in this spell. This damage is unavoidable, ignores temporary hit points, and cannot be modified in any manner.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the spell creates one more Magic Missile for each slot level above 5th.
Spells that use multiple types of Magic Missile
The three 5th level spells in this supplement are unique, in that they can use any type of magic missile.
Regardless of the types of Magic Missiles the caster decides to use for these spells, they will take the 2 damage for every Magic Missile used in the spell (including the ones generated by the spell).
This damage cannot be changed in any capacity. This means that increases or decreases to spell damage do not affect it. Additionally, as the damage is "typeless" it cannot be resisted, and the caster cannot become immune to this damage.
Simply put, the consequences of casting these powerful spells cannot be avoided in any way.

Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, your spellbook can only consist of Magic Missile spells. Additionally, you gain Lesser Magic Missile and two more cantrips from any spell list (cantrips are not listed in your spellbook, as they are prepared at all times).
Quick Missile
At 2nd level you have further honed your craft. Whenever you use an action to cast a Magic Missile wizard spell of 1st level or higher, you can use your bonus action to create a single additional Magic Missile. Whenever you create this additional Magic Missile, you have two options:
Create a Magic Missile and immediately attack a creature with it. One creature of your choice that you can see within 120 feet of you is hit by the Magic Missile and receives 1d4 + 1 force damage.
Create a clockwise or counterclockwise Magic Missile, and add it to your reserve. You cannot exceed the maximum amount of clockwise Magic Missiles in your reserve with this feature.

This damage is unavoidable, ignores temporary hit points, and cannot be modified in any manner.
Enlightened Missile
At 14th level, you have achieved a breakthrough due to your dedication to the Magic Missile. Your Intelligence increases by 2, to a maximum of 22.
