Line 20:
And to be clear: ''Magma'' refers to the material while it's still underground and not yet erupted from a volcano. ''Lava'' is the stuff when it's above ground.

== [[Advertising]] ==
* The snarky narrator for [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f46kAiy5BPA this commercial] (for Hershey's chocolate, of all things) [[Black Comedy| dunks the poor woman in lava to make the pitch.]]
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', the ultimate spell of Earth element wouldn't be awesome enough without it.
* ''[[Mazinger Z]]'': [[Humongous Mecha|Mazinger-Z's]] [[Home Base]] was located on the foot of Mount Fuji. Such a perfect setup was used for animating many battles and squirmishes would have been less cool without the [[Climactic Volcano Backdrop]], the characters brawling around a [[Lava Pit]] or soaring above Mount Fuji's crater. In one episode, Dr. Hell attempted to set an eruption off to bury the Photon Research Institute beneath tons of lava. In another episode, Mazinger-Z was tossed into a volcano. In the [[Gosaku Ota]] manga episodes, [[The Dragon]] Baron Ashura's master plan involved to set volcanic eruptions off throughout Japan...
** ''[[Great Mazinger]]'': One of the weapons of Marquis Janus' [[Island Base]] was an artificial volcano built on the island could vomit rocks and lava when Janus needed.
* [[Naruto]]'s [[Ms. Fanservice|Mizukage]] Mei can use Lava as a combination of fire and earth, in addition to her water, fire, earth and acid skills. She pulls [http://kaiafa.deviantart.com/art/Mei-Terumi-Yoton-Gif-203312081?q=favby%3Abrandonhanns%2F45210890&qo=21 this] outta her sleeve.

== [[Literature]] ==
* Many depictions of [[Fire and Brimstone Hell]], especially visual works, will have bubbling pools and flowing streams of lava as background elements.
* Luke Skywalker [[New Powers as the Plot Demands|spontaneously develops]] the ability to ''walk on lava'' in the first book of the ''[[Jedi Academy Trilogy]]''.
{{quote|Luke walked across the lake of fire.
He did not think about it. The lava refused to touch his feet. Only [[Sentient Cosmic Force|The Force]] burned bright around him. One step after another, he strode across the flaming rock, letting himself see nothing but his goal until he stood again on solid ground on the far side of the lake of fire, with Gantoris and his people. }}
Line 69 ⟶ 68:
** ''Molten Core'' has [[Magma Man|Ragnaros the Firelord]], who wields Sulfuras, a gargantuan lava warhammer. In the ''Warcraft'' D20 RPG and trading card games, Sulfuras is available as a treasure.
*** Players can craft a [http://www.wowpedia.org/Sulfuras,_Hand_of_Ragnaros miniature version].
* ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'': One of early objectives usually is digging down to magma sea due to extreme usefulness of this liquid. Magma allows you to run furnaces without consuming fuel and makes a great source of weapon-grade high value stone, as it reacts with water, producing mineable obsidian (and steam). It can be pumped around and even scooped with minecarts and interacts with floodgates and pressure plates much like water, as long as equipment touching it is heat-resistant enough - there's even an internal token for "magma-safe" materials. Ask for help on the forum, and someone will suggest solving your problem with lava. If you're already using lava, you should try using more. DF wiki used to be on domain "df.magmawiki.com" for a reason.
** If your problem is too much lava, [[Elves Versus Dwarves|then what are you? Some kind of Elf?]]
* ''[[Metroid Prime]]: Hunters'' features the Magmaul, which is basically a magma grenade launcher.
Line 78 ⟶ 77:
* The strongest crafting material in ''[[Terraria]]'' is Hellstone. Which appears in lava pits. And emits lava when mined.
** Obsidian is created by dumping water into lava—in relatively small quantities in the normal game and ''enormous'' quantities if you build a [[Good Bad Bugs|generator]].

Line 87:
* A favorite game of young children is to climb and jump all over the living room furniture while avoiding falling into the "lava" floor below.
** This childhood game is [[Played for Laughs]] in [http://xkcd.com/735/ this] xkcd strip.
** And in an episode of ''[[RWBY Chibi]]''.
* Lava lamps are quite popular for their aesthetic qualities, but that's not necessarily
