Maxwell's Silver Hammer
From A KoL Wiki
Maxwell's Silver Hammer
This hammer is perfect for (bang! Bang!) bringing down on someone's head, and making sure that they are dead. If you're the type to spend late nights all alone with a test tube, you'll notice that the head of the hammer is magnetic. Thus, if you rotated it in a coil of wire, you'd make electricity! It's almost like magnetism and electricity are the same thing.
