Dwarven Hammer
Magic item, Magic weapon
A dwarf-forged throwing hammer that flies back to the thrower.
From the book
This throwing hammer always flies back to the one who threw it. Only dwarven smiths can make one.
Besides its special power it may carry +1-4 to hit (+1-3 if enchanted with orichalc); every plus adds to both attack and damage rolls, and a magical weapon counts as superior quality when saving against breakage. Magical arms and armor can be enchanted by alchemists using orichalc or by casters of any profession. A caster needs the materials of a minor magic item and a weapon of the finest quality, then one month plus a further month for each spell-like power or +1 conferred, with a 99% chance of success; the finished piece usually sells for at least twice its materials plus 2,000 G.P. per +1. No mortal can enchant anything beyond +4.
