Magic Missile

Magic Missile debuts in book 1 of Dungeon Crawler Carl as Carl's eye-fired signature attack, launching bright-red thwump bolts with a sci-fi laser aesthetic that produce smoke on impact. Each shot costs 5 mana, establishing it as an accessible yet mana-intensive ranged option during the early dungeon crawl. Across the series the spell serves as a foundational ability whose core mechanics and visual flair remain consistent even as Carl gains new skills and gear.
