100.) Maslow's Golden Hammer (Lesser Artifact) (D&D 3.5)

This +4 Metalline (magic Item Compendium pg 38) light hammer deals 1d4 points of bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing damage when used as a weapon. Additionally upon striking a creature it gains the Bane property against that creature type. If it later strikes a creature of a different type the bane property changes to match the type of the new target; but it cannot change more than once every five minutes (if it strikes a creature of a different type before the five minutes is up it retains the type of bane it currently has). Additionally, it is a great tool for any job and adds a +2 circumstance bonus to any skill check in which it is employed as a tool (even if the skill wouldn't normally use tools). As often as desired the hammer can also apply any Prestidigitation effect or Mending, Cure Minor Wounds, Inflict Minor Wounds, Repair Minor Damage (Eberron), Preserve Organ (BoVD), Light, or Purify Food and Drink to any thing it strikes; as well as Amauensis (Spell Compendium) by striking first the source and then the target. Finally, once per day the hammer can cast Limited Wish on anything that it critically hits (as with the vorpal property roll for the crit even on creatures that would normally be immune)
