Line 126:
* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls Four Oblivion|Oblivion]]'' players can swim through and under lava if they have enough hit points/health potions and the Water-Walking spell works on it. Then again, considering it's a hell dimension, it may very well be boiling blood.
** Well, it IS referred to as the "Waters Of Oblivion." Who says it isn't just magic water that does fire damage?
** Most likely the case, as lava in [[The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind|Morrowind]] is treated fairly realistically (you don't sink when you step on it, you can't swim in it, and it doesn't flow like water). Can stand next to it all day without minding, though. Cryodiil doesn't have much in the way of active tectonic activity, where Morrowind is set on a large volcanic island.
* Most of the lava in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]] 2'' is treated as a [[Bottomless Pit]]. However in one level you can cool the lava down in order to swim through it.
** [[Justified Trope]] because it actually ''is'' boiling hot water which you have to cool down in order to be able to swim through it and only years of [[Genre Savvy|Genre Savvyness]] would make you think otherwise. However, this doesn't explain [[Artistic License Physics|why the water isn't just vaporizing]] - and why it's [[Color Coded for Your Convenience|turning red]]...
