Semi-Molten Rock (SMR) is most easily found at the bottommost edges of Template:L. Freestanding formations are possible, though less common.

Though its name suggests the rock is hot, it is not dangerous to nearby dwarves. SMR acts as a barrier, and cannot be mined through, nor smoothed. Unlike magma, SMR does not react with water, producing no steam, nor obsidian. Oddly enough, if channeled out from the level above, the result is a blue-labelled "Magma Flow" floor that causes no damage to creatures or objects, allows constructions to be built upon it, and coexists peacefully with water dumped onto it. The semi-molten rock below will be replaced by a rock ramp, but only if it is not adjacent to another rock ramp. If the "Magma Flow" floor over a rock ramp (only) is replaced by a construction, and the construction is then removed, it reverts to a stone floor. This floor can then be channeled into again, making the ramp visible from above. But the dorfs still won't build anything including an up/down stairway in the space so created, nor will they descend into it to channel or to remove the ramp. More ingenuity is called for...
