Mjollnir will affect them in the way a war hammer will, but it doesn't do its artifact damage (they're shock-resistant). I suggest: shock resistance, either from a ring or from eating something that gives the "Your health currently feels amplified!" i.e. eat lots of gelatinous cube, brown pudding, black pudding, flesh golem, electric eel, 1 blue dragon or 1 Chromatic Dragon, and if an energy vortex swallows you and you don't have it, teleport out ASAP. You'll only feel a mild tingle inside an energy vortex when you're shock resistant, which makes it the perfect place to heal up when you're being beaten up by other monsters.
