The spell's area effect is set as Large, which means the AoE is 15 feet per the reference. This gives an AoE radius of 7.5 feet in all directions from the caster.

==Description==
You unleash a fiery projectile that explodes upon all within the area of effect for 1d6 points of [[damage type|fire damage]] per [[caster level]], to a maximum of 10d6.

A scribed Fireball will cost 750 at CL 10. [http://nwn2.wikia.com/wiki/Scribe_Scroll <nowiki>[source]</nowiki>]

==3.5 Fireball==
'''Description:''' A fireball spell is an explosion of flame that detonates with a low roar and deals 1[[d6]] points of fire damage per caster level (maximum 10d6) to every creature within the area. Unattended objects also take this damage. The explosion creates almost no pressure.

You point your finger and determine the range (distance and height) at which the fireball is to burst. A glowing, pea-sized bead streaks from the pointing digit and, unless it impacts upon a material body or solid barrier prior to attaining the prescribed range, blossoms into the fireball at that point. (An early impact results in an early detonation.) If you attempt to send the bead through a narrow passage, such as through an arrow slit, you must “hit” the opening with a ranged touch attack, or else the bead strikes the barrier and detonates prematurely.

The fireball sets fire to combustibles and damages objects in the area. It can melt metals with low melting points, such as lead, gold, copper, silver, and bronze. If the damage caused to an interposing barrier shatters or breaks through it, the fireball may continue beyond the barrier if the area permits; otherwise it stops at the barrier just as any other spell effect does.

Magic Missile

==Description==
You create a shimmering projectile of magical force that unerringly slams into a single selected target. After level 1, the spell creates 1 additional missile for every 2 caster levels, to a maximum of 5 missiles at level 9. Magic missiles do 1[[d4]]+1 points of magic damage each.

== Gameplay ==

A scribed scroll of Magic Missile will cost 225 gp, CL of the scroll being 9. [http://nwn2.wikia.com/wiki/Scribe_Scroll <nowiki>[source]</nowiki>]

This is a defacto low level "always-damage" spell. It sacrifices sheer damage output of similar level 1 spells for range, no save and the magical damage type.

Most mages will have this for a long-ranged attack spell, instead of resorting to crossbows or similar ranged weapons, when they run out of higher level spells. It is also retains some usefulness after level 9 due to it doing enough damage to tip a enemy over the edge into death, with a practical amount of damage which will always succeed. More powerful variations include [[Isaac's lesser missile storm|Isaac's Lesser Missile Storm]] and [[Isaac's Greater Missile Storm]]

Whether or not it is worth taking a lower levels is undecided and up to a matter of preference. Many mages would find it more fortuitous to use spells which caused the enemy to be put to [[Sleep (spell)|sleep]], [[Charm Person|charmed]] them, [[Grease]] the area to knock down enemies, or [[Ray of enfeeblement|lower the targets strength]] so it cannot move or hit with a melee weapon.

The good notes about this spell compared to other level 1 sorcerer/wizard damage spells is that it has a long range, and always succeeds on hitting and affecting the target. It however cannot affect more than one person, and almost all level 1 damage spells do more damage (or do damage to more objects) than Magic Missile, even though they have saves.

An easy way to become immune to the magic missile spell is [[Shield]] which provides a low-duration way of stopping all magic missiles - mages usually have to be aware of this when casting spells themselves!

This is actually a good spell to have (at a reasonably high caster level) on a Scroll, Rod or Wand (and can actually be quite a common wand at most times). It provides a backup to usual spells for adventurers on an item, since it only uses Caster Level, and only for the amount of missiles (and to get past spell resistance)

==NWN comparison==
*NWN also only allowed a caster to target a single creature with this spell irrelevant of the number of missile created.

== 3.5E Notes ==

In 3.5E, magic missile had slightly more utility - it could affect as many targets the caster chose (up to the amount of missiles) in an area, making it what [[Isaac's Missile Storm]] is based on in terms of effect.
