Notes
Shield renders its recipient immune to Magic Missile.- The level 10 Evocation School Wizard feature
Empowered Evocation add the wizard's Intelligence modifier to each missile. 
Psychic Spark adds an extra dart to each Magic Missile cast (e.g. four total at spell level 1).- When interacting with effects like
Death Ward and dealing multiple missile attacks to the same creature, assuming the 1st attack was sufficient to 
down the creature with Death Ward active, the 2nd attack appears to apply before Death Ward activates. This means that after 2 missile attacks the creature loses Death Ward but remains with 1HP:
- If the initial attack has 3 missiles the creature is downed on the 2nd attack and again for an actual kill on the 3rd attack.
- In the case of party members with Death Ward applied, they need to receive 6 missile attacks to actually die: 2 to break down the ward, 1 to get downed and 3 more to fail 3 Death Saving Throws. This effect appears to apply to all multi-application attacks such
Scorching Ray and 
Eldritch Blast (as of 4.1.1.3669438).
- The incantation for Magic Missile is Tormentum, Latin for "Catapult", "Missile", and "Torment".
