I used to think it was an illusion (like how he conjured an image of Odin for Thor but now I'm not so sure). Think about it. If Mephisto didn't at least CATCH and HOLD the hammer, where was it inbetween the time Thor threw it at him and the time it traveled back to Thor's hand.
Illyana broke Cyttorak's enchantment on Colossus while within her own realm. A Hell-Lord is supposed to be supreme within their own realm, outside the bounds of natural law. Mephisto actually melting it and restoring it sounds more conceivable than him merely creating an illusion of such.
