First, press enter at the end of each line, that stops your posts from
showing up as one long line of text. Anyway, to answer the question: power
missile has the advantage of being able to hit inanimate targets. Since
most people will have a Body equally high or higher than their Willpower,
with the exception of many (human, dwarven, elven) magicians, power
missile isn't very useful against them, but if you have to break down a
door, casting mana missile even at force 50 won't help in any way
whatsoever.
