(this is NOT clearly worded and can be argued either way, or missed entirely)  That's why the hammer only does 1d8, its a "minor" attack along side your usual action (after the first casting, which does take a whole action).so if you use my interpretation:1)the hammer follows melee rule, lance follows ranged, whatever they might be. Obvious ones are cover, and disadvantage for ranged attack with adjacent foes.2)No, its a minor attack that is in addition to your normal damage, so its supposed to be less.3) No, the hammer is a damage supplement, you're supposed to be able to use both at the same time.If i'm wrong and moving and attacking with the hammer is your entire action, then its a pretty poor spell compared to radiant lance, and your complaints are correct.</blockquote>
