Why ever cast a 2nd level Scorching Ray (avg 10.5 damage assuming 50% hit chance) when a 2nd level Magic Missile hits with 100% accuracy for 24? How does this stuff get approved before it goes in?
I doubt that this will remain and I view Magic Missle as the only option anyways even without the necklace.
This is just an EarlyAccess fun-placing I think.
If we ever come around this sexy headgear again, it will undoubtedly be in some very hard to reach location.
And until then we will have much other useful headgear, making the coice a pain in the Asumar.
