Akmon, Hammer of Purphoros

Weapon Warhammer - Artifact

This enchanted warhammer, hailing from the divine realm of Mythic Odysseys of Theros, is a rare artifact that requires attunement. Crafted and wielded by the god of the forge, Purphoros, Akmon serves as a dual instrument, creating groundbreaking marvels and wreaking havoc with its fiery might. When entrusted to mortals, it’s often for the purpose of bringing significant works into existence or countering destructive forces.

Hammer of the Forge: This magical warhammer bestows a +3 bonus to both attack and damage rolls. On a successful hit, the target suffers an additional 3d10 fire damage.

Blessing of the Forge:

  • Piety 10+. The hammer has 1 randomly determined minor beneficial property.
  • Piety 25+. The hammer has 1 randomly determined major beneficial property
  • Piety 50+. The hammer has 1 additional randomly determined major beneficial property.

If you aren’t a worshiper of Purphoros, the hammer has 2 randomly determined minor detrimental properties.

Reforged: While wielding Akmon, you gain resistance to fire damage, immunity to exhaustion, proficiency with smith’s tools, and advantage on related ability checks.

Spells: The hammer allows the casting of spells (save DC 18) such as Animate Objects, Heat Metal, Fabricate, Magic Weapon, Mending, and Shatter. After casting a spell, it cannot be used again until the following dusk.

Destroying the Hammer: To annihilate Akmon, it must be taken to the realm of Tizerus in the Underworld, coated in clay from the Mire of Punishment, and hardened by the hammer’s heat over a month. Once fully solidified, a kraken must swallow and digest the clay-covered hammer.
