* ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'': A Call Beyond unleashes a [[StarPower small star]] that explodes into streaks of light that bombard anything in their vicinity, true to [[VideoGame/BloodBorne the game]] it is featured in. It is used in Chapter 20 of the original version to [[BreachingTheWall make a gap in a fortress wall]], which allows Kyril and his company to infiltrate the Leaping Lizard stronghold. [[spoiler:Chapter 6 of the remastered version ends with Kyril using it to insta-kill Vault and his men. Not only is this an [[OhCrap "Oh Crap!"]] moment for the ones on the receiving end, it is also one for Olga as well -- even an experienced [[BlackMagic Black Magic]] user like her has never seen such a powerful spell before. That is the day she realised the power gap between the two has never been more apparent than before.]]

* As a {{Soulsborne}} game, ''VideoGame/EldenRing'' also has this in the form of "Pest Threads", an incantation used primarily by the Kindred of Rot; the player can also purchase and use this incantation.

** Eibritas, Daughter of the Cosmos is the source of the spell, and she casts it in salvos of 3.

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'':

* ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'': The spells Burst Rondo (weak) and Rune Flare (strong) do this.

* Page image provided by ''[[http://nwn2.wikia.com/wiki/Isaac%27s_Lesser_Missile_Storm Isaac's lesser missile storm]]'' in ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2''. The spell and its higher-level form ''[[http://nwn2.wikia.com/wiki/Isaac%27s_Greater_Missile_Storm Isaac's greater missile storm]]'' were developed by Creator/BioWare for the ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights'' series (Which named the Trope). Not so hot against hordes, but if there're more missiles than targets, they'll converge, so used against solo bosses, it's seriously deadly. For a not quite so literally "magic missile" version there is also ''[[http://nwn2.wikia.com/wiki/Flame_Arrow Flame Arrow]]''...which may confuse some players because [[http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/flameArrow.htm the online standard reference document]] has the pen-and-paper version as purely an enchantment to be applied to projectiles. (The NWN "one fiery arrow per four caster levels" version is in fact described as an alternate casting mode of this exact spell in the 3.0 Edition of Dungeons & Dragons.)

* ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'': Overlapping with MacrossMissileMassacre, A Call Beyond unleashes a [[StarPower small star]] that explodes into streaks of light that bombard anything in their vicinity, true to [[VideoGame/BloodBorne the game]] it is featured in. It is used in Chapter 20 of the original version to [[BreachingTheWall make a gap in a fortress wall]], which allows Kyril and his company to infiltrate the Leaping Lizard stronghold. [[spoiler:Chapter 6 of the remastered version ends with Kyril [[KilledOffForReal insta-killing Vault]] [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill and his men using this]]. Not only is this an [[OhCrap "Oh Crap!"]] moment for the ones on the receiving end, it is also one for Olga as well -- even an experienced [[BlackMagic Black Magic]] user like her has never seen such a powerful spell before. That is the day she realised the power gap between the two has never been more apparent than before.]]

* Quite a few spells in Ernothian trilogy of ''Videogame/MightAndMagic'' is like this. There are spells like Meteor Shower or Starburst that summon magical meteors or stars in the sky to rain down on your enemies, Shrapmetal that shoots multiple heated metal chunks in front of you, Sparks, that do the same but with [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin sparks]], the list goes on ...

** The Infinity Engine used for Baldur's Gate can actually handle literally UpToEleven magic missiles being fired from a single spell, but the only way to see it is to install a GameMod that actually uses this capability.

* In ''{{VideoGame/Undertale}}'' this is the most common way that bosses try to kill you. Special mentions go to Flowey, who [[UpToEleven in his very first appearance,]] fires an [[UnblockableAttack inescapable ring of bullets]] at you, and [[WakeUpCallBoss Undyne the Undying,]] who can have 40+ magic spears on screen at the same time.
