Is it seriously called magma mist or did the author just assume that that was the name? Honestly, if nothing is known about it there shouldn't be an article.

- It is, in fact, called magma mist, though I doubt there's much more information about it than listed on this page. I've only seen it when a "cave in" was reported within a magma vent; it's probably generated by turbulence in the same way that normal, water mist is created. This gives me an interesting idea, however.. Perhaps pumping magma up to fall back down through a grate may create a defensive 'wall' of scalding magma mist. This requires testing. ..Then again, having a magmafall in front of your doorway would probably be more than enough to deter any attackers to begin with, but it's an idea. --Hesitris 04:20, 18 November 2007 (EST)
- Funny note--I had actually planned on doing that in a fort (making a wall of magma), never got around to it for some reason. But you'd certainly need a way to turn it off, and if magma splashes, you would be incredibly screwed if you even made one mistake...plus, you'd need, what, three different magma sources? Either that, or about five pumps lined up next to each other to move up *each* level or so, to maintain a constant flow. And you'd want a chasm nearby to deal with the magma that's formed, or you could use it as a moat (probably leading back to the source or sources).
- Better yet--have a central pillar in the fort that's always full of magma, so it's accessible by some pumps on the 'ceiling' of the fortress. When you're under attack/about to be, the 3-5 tile moat around you is filled with magma that falls down the fortress walls. ~ Midna 03:21, 5 December 2008 (EST)
