Persistent Missile

The missile launched will deal damage to all units it encounters, without exploding.

Constant Missile

The missile will always be launched toward a relative point from the caster (for example: always to the North of the caster).

• Based on the Basic Missile, change the ability to be of a type "Effect - Instant".
• Under the Launch Missile type effect, just change the "Target - Impact Offset" to coordinates corresponding to the relative you want. For example, straight North for 10 squares from Caster would be (0,10).
