We tend to see Odin with zero prep, and severely underestimating people while being condescending. And he's still generally the baddest mfer in the room. Let him know his opponent can go to 11, let him put on his serious pants, and John's probably in an epic amount of trouble. If any of John's spells slip up, Odin's base level is at the top of the Skyfather heap. He's just a notch below abstract without so much as getting off the toilet.
John's thing is often pulling a fast one on more powerful types. Sure, he's overpowered a handful. But more often, he knows he's outclassed by a mile, but manages to run a con that keeps him alive or achieves some end. He wouldn't have that luxury here. I'm not saying Constantine can't win. But I'd handicap it in Odin's favor.
Constantine probably manages a win, and it costs him tremendously. Whatever it takes, he'd find some way to bribe, bluff, or back him into a moral checkmate.
Pyrric victories are kind of his thing. He'd sell his own soul to a group of demons, if it could get him what he wants (Which, as I'm sure you know, he DID. 🙂 )

Constantine after being slightly bored casts an illusion onto Odin making him think that he is a dead body or something so he doesn't touch him (like he did with Darkseid).Constantine then uses his Cigar to poke out Odin's other eye and then kicks him in the bollocks.
Odin is above Darkseid. Plus what if Odin just decides to vaporize the area?

You know the answer to that, hehe.
But that is not the nature of the turnabout spell.
It doesn't matter what the power level of the person is...because the whole point is that it whatever injury John gets, Odin will get.
And as we have seen, due to the nature of magic, the wording is very important. If the spell says only the worthy may lift Mjolnir, it doesn't matter how powerful the spellcaster - only the worthy may lift it. Full stop.
