As the title says, I'm pretty sure every player in the game would love for Mjolnir to have a throw and return functionality. To keep it balanced, it could be made to consume an adrenaline charge. Also, I don't see how it would break balance, since while it is in flight, you'd have no weapon in that hand.

The animation could simply be a quick cast deal, where Eivor chucks it out in whichever direction he's facing, say... 20-30 ft, and lightning crackles off the hammer in a small aoe along the path of the throw. Obviously, the knockdown/knockback would have to affect all opponents (hence, the adrenalin cost). Then the hammer automatically returns to Eivor's hands with a satisfying thud.

I mean, c'mon. Who doesn't want to do that with Mjolnir? To keep things fair, Gungnir could be charged to cast lightning bolts like javelins. Same deal, adrenaline cost. Excalibur could do a ground stab shockwave of light with knockback. And so on. Buy mostly, Mjolnir.

@kreutzgang Yeah. I know that there's not really any reference to such abilities in actual norse mythology (so far as I know), but it's so expected and badass that I guess I just took it as a given that it would be throwable. God of War nailed the feeling with the Leviathan axe. I woulda thought Ubisoft would have jumped at the chance to put their spin on "the real deal."
