What's your cha like? Cuz if it's any decent then You should really take 2 lvls of paladin
Don't let me stop you from playing what you want. I'm just gonna share some info with you to keep in mind.
Wizards/Sorcerers have the lowest Base Attack Bonus out of all classes. You're gonna have a really tough time trying to hit anything with your War hammer, especially if your attributes are directed more towards Intelligence and Wisdom, instead of Strength or Dexterity.
Wizards also have low Hit Dice, which makes them have low hit points, especially if you have low Constitution. So getting into melee frequently would probably not be so wise.
Wizards/Sorcerers also give up a lot of skills.
But having said all that, Wizards/Sorcerers and any other 9th spell level caster are the most powerful classes in the game if they mostly concentrate in their class.
So if you want a melee mage, you'd probably have a lot more success with a Magus, or a Warpriest. If you want to be even less mage oriented, you'd want a Bloodrager, Paladin or Ranger. You could even go for a Battle Mystery Oracle.
Dipping to Paladin won't really take advantage of the Paladins spells or class features because they revolve around Charisma modifiers. And your Charisma is 10, which gives you a +0 modifier. And it wouldn't even be worth it to raise it when you can stick to your most valued attribute, which is Intelligence, for learning spells, DC of spells, and concentration checks.
You have to find classes that are leaned more towards your central attribute, in your case is Intelligence, because they compliment the class abilities that are associated with that attribute, such as Alchemist, Investigator, Rogue/Ninja, Slayer. But in your case, for a Thor build, that doesn't really fit. It doesn't really make sense to dip out of a Wizard, unless you're trying to reach the minimum level for a prestige class. However, if want to dip two levels into a full BAB class, fighter would be the way to go for those two extra combat feats.
Too bad you're not a Eldritch Scrapper for Martial Flexibility, those fighter combat feats would go into better use.
You could however hang on to the War hammer and use it with the Transformation spell later on.
When I hear Thor build, it brings a Kensai Magus to my mind with Shocking Grasp and Spellstrike.
PS: Wizards don't have Martial Proficiency, so you can't even use a War hammer without a -4 penalty to your attack.
To each his own I think I would of leaned towards cleric.
Alternatively you could go with barbarian as your alternate class to get into eldritch knight. also why not 9 wizard 10 eldritch knight?
also get yourself a hammer of thunderbolts!
I mean...if you actually read what I put instead of having the knee jerk reaction you did, alot of things you said were addressed in my first post.
Though one thing I didnt do is list my stats. I have 10 str, 22 int, 10 cha, 19 dex, 7 wis, 14 con. So as far as hitting things with the warhammer at level 6, Ill have a +5 with no penalties. Which isnt as good as a straight up fighter class, but a straight up fighter cant cast level 3 spells, and neither can a Magus until level 7. and Ill have level 4 spells by character level 8, wizard level 7.
Which things would those be? I see weapon procificiencies and that's about it.
Currently I am 5 levels into Wizard and about to level up. Got my hands on a Warhammer +1 with Returning in a fight I wasnt supposed to win, but the dice gods were in my favor.
I am a Air Elemental school Wizard for the Levitate, Feather Fall, and Fly at will.
Now I am thinking of taking a level in Divine Hunter under Paladin to gain Precise Shot without having to get Point Blank. Also it gives me detect evil which currently I have been using See Alignment and always picking evil, so this frees up a slot. At level 4 I took Throw Anything already, so with that and the weapon proficiencies I wont be taking an penalties to throwing the Warhammer. And one I get fly at will at level 10 Wizard, I will be going into Eldricht Knight.

Way too much magic for Thor. Fighter with the right feats, with a magic hammer is really all you need.

You've got a great Dexterity. Maybe find an item to slightly boost your strength or something to give you DEX to Damage, but you could probably pull it off. It only gets easier to do from here.

He's also considered pretty dim-witted too. Not many can outhink his hammer though.
Except Loki. Until Ragnorak at least...

The hammer does far more for Jane Foster than it did for any other Thor. But then she is sacrificing more than any of them... her very life.

I think if the idea is to be a "Thor Build" this is one of the worst ways I have ever seen. Thor fought with his war-hammer first and threw it secondary. With a 10 str you will be horrible melee fighting with the hammer, and the damage when thrown will be worthless.
Go strength based and get a Belt of Mighty Hurling
I think blood rager with some sort of lighting bloodline would give the feel of thor.
