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, though some span up to more than 100 z-levels. Magma pipes seem to be always connected to a magma lake, and the lake and pipe can occasionally reach up to the same level, making them hard to separate. However, magma pipes can be identified by the obsidian walls which surround them. Magma pipes will slowly refill themselves, giving the player an infinite source of magma.
Properties of magma
Magma behaves the same way as water with the exception of not being affected by Template:L, unless pressurized by a Template:L.
Dangers of magma
Magma is not immediately fatal when first touched. It is dangerous to stand in magma, but dwarves will generally only suffer minor burns when running from a flow. Most creatures can survive standing on even a completely filled magma tile for a single turn, but any more and they will likely die. Template:Elven
