    What’s the mythical-scientific reason for Thors hammer being immovable? Very high mass/density or protected by some invisible godlike force?

      In the movies, it’s a worthiness/ pure heart thing. In the comics it’s just really heavy. I guess the question is, is magic space metal ferrous enough to be magnetic?

      Pretty much both.

      Stormbreaker is completely different metal with no such restrictions placed on it, so anyone can pick it up.

        Enchantments are a one-off thingy. They don’t require the enchanter to stay alive.
        Otherwise, buying an enchanted sword from someone would mean, you would have to depend upon that person not getting killed by some random robber, when you are in the middle of battling the dungeon boss.

                Your characters walk into a magic shop, but instead of buying magic items the shopkeeper offers to sell them scrolls of ownership. “There are infinite number of these scrolls,” he explains, “but they all use a decentralized mechanism to determine ownership!”

                “Okay, I’ll buy one. Now where’s my +1 sword?” The fighter asks.

                “The scrolls say that you own it” the shopkeeper unhelpfully reiterates. “And every other scroll will be updated to agree that you own it.”
