Often invokes [[Convection, Schmonvection]]. Also see [[Awesomeness Is Volatile]] and [[Incendiary Exponent]].

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.
