magic missile

Guaranteed fantasy hit

Magic missile is a spell from Dungeons & Dragons that automatically hits its target, requiring no attack roll.

The spell fires glowing darts of magical energy that never miss, making it a reliable if modest source of damage.

The term has spread beyond tabletop gaming into video games and fantasy fiction generally: I'll just magic missile the goblin and be done with it.
