+ | '''Magma''' is red-hot [[fluid|molten rock]] that wells up from deep within the earth (but not so deep that it cannot be found by dwarves), entering the map either by the edges or by the area beneath a [[magma pool]]. Magma that emerges aboveground is called '''Lava'''; however, the substance itself remains the same. Magma is very [[Fun]]. | ||
Magma serves as a heat source, replacing [[fuel]] in [[magma smelter]]s, [[magma forge]]s, [[magma glass furnace]]s, and [[magma kiln]]s. Magma is ''extremely'' hot, which can lead to even more [[Fun]]. Materials that can withstand the temperature of magma are called '''[[magma-safe]]''', and the list is rather extensive. | Magma serves as a heat source, replacing [[fuel]] in [[magma smelter]]s, [[magma forge]]s, [[magma glass furnace]]s, and [[magma kiln]]s.

[[File:magma_preview.png|frame|120px|right|Not-so-lucky 7s.]]Despite the name, magma pools are more like pipes. They can be found underground, but they rarely reach the upper z-levels (40+). Most end a few z-levels above the magma sea, though some may span more than 100 z-levels. | [[File:magma_preview.png|frame|120px|right|Not-so-lucky 7s.]]Despite the name, magma pools are more like pipes.
