Paladin's Hammer

The Paladin's Hammer is a rare drop from the Paladin, who is only found in the Hardmode Dungeon. It is an extremely fast returning boomerang, which has one of the shortest ranges for a boomerang-classed weapon. If it gets the proper equipment this weapon can become one of the deadliest available and, with the right modifiers and equipment, can reach or exceed 220 damage. This weapon hits through enemies, proceeding until the hammer hits a solid wall or reaches the limit it can go before returning, allowing for insane accumulative damage against enemies such as the Destroyer. As with all modifiable boomerangs, the best prefix for the Paladin's Hammer is Godly.

Trivia

 * The hammer is a common choice of weapon for paladins in many fantasy games. In most cases, however hammers aren't throwing weapons, nor do they function like boomerangs without the aid of magic.
 * Along with the theme of paladins wielding hammers, this weapon may also be a reference to Mjölnir, the magical hammer of the Norse god Thor, which would return to his hand after being thrown.
 * On a more specific note, this weapon may be a reference to the "Blessed Hammer" ability of paladins in Diablo II, which in turn is likely inspired by the two themes above.
 * While this is unlikely, the weapon could also be a reference to Super Mario Bros. 3. In it, the player could gain a Hammer Suit, allowing them to throw deadly hammers that could take out several enemies at once.

Anomaly

 * When running fast (wearing Lightning Boots on Asphalt) if the hammer is thrown in the direction away from where you're running to, given enough melee speed, a second instance of the hammer can be thrown before the first has returned
