Allows you to learn the magic missile spell.

The magic missile ray does (xplev/2+1)d6 damage, so mid-level wizards can have a very devastating weapon that way. The damage can be doubled if one can use walls to reflect the ray again to the target. The maximum output is 16d6 for level 30 caster, and only Knight with the MMoM can double it.

Strategy

For low-level wizards, the starting spell of force bolt is usually a better attacking method than the magic missile, as force bolt costs 5 Pw and does 2d12 damage. Magic missile does the same when the wizard is xplev four with 10 Pw points.
