lava is a liquid made out of melted rock. It is one of the higher valued liquids, but is highly harmful to anything it contacts that lacks proper heat resistance. Cooking with it grants simple heat and fire-based cooking effects. A composite liquid containing lava will be magmatic.
Upon entering a cell of lava that is not frozen, the creature's temperature will increase by 1,000, which is often enough to set the creature on fire. This is only when the cell is entered, and staying on the lava will not alter temperature.
When lava is poured on something, their temperature will increase by 1,000 and take 1d201-20 (Avg: 10.5) damage for every dram poured. Drinking it is even more dangerous, increasing temperature by the same amount, but the imbiber takes 1d1001-100 (Avg: 50.5) damage. Drinking lava grants the On the Rocks achievement. In the journal, this is noted as "Unexplainably, you drank lava".
In terms of proper receptacles for storing lava, any container that has a flaming temperature that is higher than 1,000. The only dedicated liquid container that can withstand this temperature is the phial, but some artifacts that can hold liquid as ammo can also hold lava without being destroyed. Notable examples include all liquid fueled energy cells, rocket skates, and flamethrowers.
Sources of Lava
- Any wall that reaches its melting point will turn into 2,000 drams of lava
- giant lava weeps and lava weeps. Fungal biomes that contain these have bright red and yellow mushrooms.
- Rarely sold by ichor merchants and chefs.
- Note that this lava will sometimes be sold in non-lava safe containers, in which case the containers will be flaming in their inventory.
- The alchemist is guaranteed to have one dram of lava for sale.
- This dram will be sold in a phial, which the lava cannot destroy.
- When killed, red jells leave a pool of lava in the same way that giant amoebas leave a pool of slime.
- Found in the deeper levels of the Asphalt Mines
Uses of Lava
- Used in thermoelectric cells to power artifacts
- Can be cooked with
- High commerce value per dram
Tips
- An easy source of large single-target, single-hit damage, making it potentially useful, e.g., for killing a mercurial without it teleporting away. However, this will anger them if they survive.
- Lava can be collected after the initial pouring to be reused for damage, although it will be halved due to mixing with the salt on the ground.
- Because any wall can melt into lava, characters with heat-based mutations, such as Flaming Hands or Pyrokinesis, can make lava without having to search for it.
- Lava can be poured on someone to remove the frozen effect. However, this often results in upwards of 100 damage, so it is best used only as a last resort.
- molten wax is much safer, though not as effective.
