Mauls are not maces...

Just tried Oath (shael pul mal lum) in an ethereal Thunder Maul, and
instead of a crazy thousand damage bear weapon, I only got a gemmed
thunder maul.

Swords/axes/maces = NOT MAULS.

So there, enjoy!

Yup. I think Mauls count as Hammers.

Its silly that they make subdivisions just for Rune Words, but it's
true.

Per the AS (http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/runewords.shtml):

Clubs = Club, Spiked Club, and Exceptional/Elite versions.

Hammers = War Hammer, Maul, Great Maul, and Exceptional/Elite
versions.

Maces = Mace, Morning Star, Flail, and Exceptional/Elite versions.
This does not include any other types of Maces.

So, in every other respect a maul is a mace class weapon, but for a
rune word it's a hammer. Go figure.
