Mjollnir (or Mojo) is a neutral artifact weapon. It is a reference to Mjölnir, Thor's hammer from Norse mythology. The damage of an ordinary war hammer is fairly low, which Mjollnir sadly inherits. However, Mjollnir deals an additional 1d24 lightning damage. Very few monsters in the early game resist lightning, making Mjollnir an excellent weapon. However, there are a lot of resistant monsters in the late game, so it is a good idea to eventually two-weapon Mjollnir with a silver saber to deal more damage, or switch to a better weapon, such as Grayswandir. Unfortunately, Mjollnir's lightning damage can destroy wands and rings carried by whomever it strikes, including the player who throws it. (more...)
