vbartilucci asked: In case someone hasn't already asked... I’ll bet the Mjolnir elevator question would be answered by looking at three questions: 1)Was it Thor’s wish to keep the elevator from moving when he set it down? 2)Is the person trying to move the elevator trying to move the hammer, or is he just trying to call the elevator? 3)What does the writer want to happen? One of those may hold more weight in the equation. Not sure which.
The Elevator question is much simpler than that: the Elevator goes up, regardless. That action does not constitute lifting by a living sentient being–it’s rather the action of a mindless machine with enough physical power to move the hammer. The enchantment isn’t about weight, it’s about worthiness–the Elevator does not qualify as “Whosoever”.
