 Once the spell is cast, each bolt [[Spellcasting|discharged]] requires 1 [[Action Points|action point]] (AP) which the caster possesses. If the caster is between 1st and 3rd level, only one missile is possessed — but for every three levels beyond 1st (at 4th, 7th, 10th and so on) the caster receives an additional missile.  These may be fired at multiple targets as the caster wishes.  Eventually, the number of missiles will exceed the caster's available action points, requiring them to be discharged over multiple rounds.
 In any case, so long as the caster concentrates, the missiles can be held back for any amount of time... though there is always the danger that his or her concentration will be disrupted and the remaining spell ruined.  While "holding" the spell, the caster can perform no other action except moving at [[Movement (stride)|stride-1]].
 While often thought of as purely offensive, the spell has applications beyond simple damage. It can be used to finish off a retreating enemy, disrupt spellcasting by striking a vulnerable opponent at the right moment, or even destroy objects.  Anything weighing less than a pound can be broken apart, while objects up to 5 lbs. can be knocked over, perhaps breaking if fragile.  In terms of spell economy, magic missile remains one of the most efficient uses of a spell slot at low levels, ensuring that few castings are wasted.

-Once the spell is cast, one bolt may be [[Spellcasting|discharged]] per each [[Action Points|action point]] (AP) of the caster.  Initially, between 1st to 3rd level, the caster possesses but one missile, so the time needed to discharge the spell is minimal.  So long as the caster maintains his or her concentration, the bolt can be "held back" after casting, waiting for the precise moment when it's to be released.  However, during this time the character can only expend 1 AP per round at no other activity except moving at [[Movement (stride)|stride-1]] — and if the caster is jarred or otherwise loses concentration, then the missile is lost.
