The 5e Magic Missile is a well-known spell in the popular tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition. It is a 1st-level spell that is widely used by spellcasters across various classes. The Magic Missile spell allows the caster to unleash a number of magical darts, usually three, that automatically hit their targets without needing an attack roll. This makes it an excellent choice for players who want a guaranteed source of damage when their attack rolls might be less reliable. One of the key advantages of the Magic Missile spell is its versatility. The spell does force damage, which is not commonly resisted by creatures in the game, making it an effective option against a wide range of opponents.
Now here comes the fun part, the circuit. To complete this step you will undertake the following tasks:
The 4-way connects to the IN1 , IN2 , IN3 and IN4 header, while the 2-way connects to the 5-12v header the driver needs to be connected directly to the power source, more on this in the next step. The cauldron forms the centrepiece in a Harry Potter themed potion mixing room scene that I ve made, I ll be posting the Instructable for it soon so remember to check back for updates.
The spell does force damage, which is not commonly resisted by creatures in the game, making it an effective option against a wide range of opponents. It can also be used to target multiple enemies or a single foe, depending on the player's needs. This flexibility makes it a staple spell for many spellcasters, especially in lower levels where other offensive spells might be limited.
Witch Stirring a Hanging Cauldron
In the spring of 2004, I decided our little yard haunt needed a witch stirring a cauldron. The prop would occupy the left side of our porch, a prominent position as the TOT's made their visits to the door. This area would make it easy to setup a scene and would provide excellent coverage from the weather.
There were a number of terrific examples on the net from some great prop builders and companies. I ran across a fantastic pair of animated witches with a cauldron built by Rick Stern of StageSix Productions. After viewing a movie and taking a look at the body forms and mechanics, I knew I wanted something like that prop. Since monstermakers.com was selling the complete animatronic display for about $13,000, I also knew I would have look at other alternatives to stay within my very modest budget.
Also on the market at that time was an animated witch being sold by frightcatalog.com and some other retailers. The $3,400 witch featured a large metal-looking cauldron with chains, flickering green lights and a soundtrack, however the cost was still way more than what I was willing to spend on a yard haunt prop.
I decided to try and build a large witch stirring a cauldron myself. There were some excellent handmade props and project descriptions that caught my attention at the time. A terrific crank witch project by Mano showed me the basic mechanics of moving the head from side to side. Scary Terry showed me how to I could use a wiper motor for the stirring motion in this project. And Death Studios created the mask and hands that would provide the creepy details for our witch.
With those ideas in mind, I set out to build our prop. The following pages contain some basic descriptions of the project. The process was very much trial and error. As a consequence, these pages are not a step-by-step how-to with every material and measurement specifically detailed . It's just a simple outline that hopefully will give you some ideas on how to build your own witch stirring a cauldron project.

To begin with we want to cut our strips to the correct lengths, they are typically divided into blocks of 3x LED's. We want two identical length strips of 4x blocks (12x LEDs per strip). The strips have a line to indicate where to cut them (usually in the middle of the copper contact pads) and can be done using a scissors.
It is important to note that the Magic Missile does not benefit from additional damage modifiers like a character's ability score or any kind of critical hit. However, it also cannot be affected by spells or abilities that require the target to make a saving throw, making it a reliable source of damage against opponents with high saving throw bonuses. Overall, the 5e Magic Missile is a powerful and versatile spell that provides a consistent source of damage for spellcasters in Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition. With its guaranteed hits and lack of attack rolls, it is an excellent choice for players who prefer reliability and versatility in their spellcasting abilities..
