I'm about to start playing D&D 3.5 and have two people who disagree on how spells work.

For example if someone was going to cast magic missle in battle how would it go.

 

Situation A.

Round 1:  Sorceror/Wizard casts Magic Missle

Round 2: Sorceror fires magic missle and Goblin he takes 1D4+1

 

Or Sitaution B.

Round 1: Casts magic missle, fires magic missle at goblin.  He takes 1D4+1.

 

Magic Missile does not require a full-round action to cast unless the Sorcerer is applying metamagic to it.

(B)

So if it was a full round action for casting cost it would be sitation A?
