+Add one_hit to magic missile.
+For server version a763845fa3 or later, this will prevent magic missiles from
+having a magic-bullet-like piercing effect when they overkill enemies. For
+prior versions, it will act as a partial fix for missiles destroying items
+on the ground (which is fixed properly in a763845fa3).

 New flesh item: demon horn.
 Set up to drop from demons. Could be repurposed to drop from dragons if needed too.
