Magni is Thor’s mighty son, noted for his strength even as a child—he helped lift Hrungnir’s leg off Thor. After Ragnarök, he survives and inherits Mjölnir, symbolizing continuity. Mentioned in the Prose Edda and skaldic verse, Magni represents the next generation of divine power. Poets use him to express hope beyond apocalypse and the enduring legacy of heroic virtue.

Magni is the son of Thor and the jötunn Járnsaxa, famed for lifting the giant Hrungnir’s leg off his father at only three nights old (Gylfaginning). His name means "Mighty," and he is prophesied to inherit Mjölnir after Ragnarök. Students should note Magni as a symbol of prodigious strength and divine continuity—ensuring Thor’s legacy endures beyond apocalypse. Though minor in surviving poetry, his existence highlights the theme of generational succession and the survival of hybrid (god–giant) lineages. In kennings, "Magni’s brother" refers to Móði, and together they represent wrath and might. Magni’s role is crucial for understanding Norse eschatology and the cyclical nature of mythic time.
