Magma lakes
Magma lakes are located at the bottom of every map, forming an almost impenetrable barrier. They also provide a great source of magma. Semi-molten rock can also be found around the magma lakes, and cannot be dug through.
Magma pipes
Magma pipes are present in the new version of Dwarf Fortress as well. They can be found underground, however they rarely reach the upper z-levels (40+). Most end just a few z-levels above the magma lakes, some span up to more than 100 z-levels, however that seems to remain the exception. Magma pipes seem to be always connected to a magma lake and often lake and pipe reach up to the same level, making them hard to separate. However, magma pipes are surrounded by obsidian walls and can thus be identified. Also, magma pipes refill themselves, which provides a never depleting magma reservoir.
Properties of magma
Magma isn't immediately fatal when first touched unlike previous versions. It is still dangerous to stand in lava, but dwarves will generally only suffer minor burns when running from a flow. Even while standing on a completely filled magma tile creatures can survive for a couple of seconds.
