I was just about to post that and I saw you beat me to it. :-)

There's mythical precedent for heroes who kill trolls to be able to wield their immense, giant-forged weapons, after all:

His eye, darting eagerly about,
glimpsed a heavy sword hanging on the wall,
a massive weapon made by the giants,
huger than any human being
besides himself could swing in battle,
forged in the giants' fabulous smithy.
The slayer of Grendel seized it by the hilt
and flourished it fiercely, fighting for his life;
he swung the snake-patterned sword forcefully
and hit the sea-hag on her hideous neck,
smashing her spine; the sword drove on
through her doomed body and she dropped to the ground.
His blade dripping blood, Beowulf rejoiced.


:-) Buffy conquered Olaf so she has the right to bear his hammer...
