Mjölnir (Japanese: トールハンマー Thor hammer) is a regalia thunder magic tome tome introduced in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. It was once wielded by Thrud of the Twelve Crusaders, created and bestowed upon him in the blood-bonding of the Miracle of Darna. It is the property of those of his lineage, the members of Grannvale's House Friege, and is restricted in use to those in possession of major Thrud Holy Blood.
A tome named Mjölnir (Japanese: ミョルニル Mjölnir) appears in Fates, but it is not known by the Japanese name Thor Hammer, and is possibly intended to be a different tome.
History
On his way back to Grannvale, Sigurd was confronted by Reptor, who at the time was the bearer of Mjölnir and actively used it against Sigurd's party. After Reptor's death, it was inherited by his son Bloom, who seventeen years later wielded it during his time presiding over the Manster District. At some point after his defeat at and retreat from Alster castle by Seliph's forces, Bloom gave it to his daughter Ishtar, who used it in the final confrontation with Seliph's liberation army.

Unused

If hacked into the game, it is locked to Ishtar - who herself is an unused character - and cannot be used without also hacking Ishtar in.

Trivia
- Along with Helswath, Gungnir and Valflame, Mjölnir is one of the Crusader weapons completely inaccessible and unusable to the player in Genealogy of the Holy War. Though there are several playable members of the Friege family (Tailtiu, Teeny/Linda, Arthur/Amid), they all have minor Thrud blood and are unable to use the tome. It was not until Awakening that it became a playable weapon.
- Mjölnir exists in Thracia 776 but is unused and unfinished, and is set as the personal weapon of Ishtar, who herself is also unused. If both Ishtar and Mjölnir are modified into the game the tome is functional and can be wielded by Ishtar, but has glitchy and incomplete spell animations.
- Mjölnir's English name was leaked in the source code of the Awakening official website's page on SpotPass when it was updated on February 4, long before the tome itself was available in the game.[1]

Minor variations in romanization; the latter was used in dialogue in older versions of the Genealogy of the Holy War fan translation, and may have been an effort to line the tome's name up better with its Crusader.
