== Description ==
A '''lava''' [[tile]] comes from lava eruptions, which are extremely rare natural events and happen only on [[rock tile]]s, or when created by a follower of the [[Path of Power]]. Lava flows downhill, and its path can be changed by [[digging|terraforming]] in front of it.
A '''lava''' Lava is the most dangerous tile in [[Wurm]]. It has the potential to [[Death|kill]] in seconds if stood on it. Stay away or expect [[tiledamage]] comes from lava eruptions, which are extremely rare natural events and happen only on potential loss of items and [[rock tilecorpse]]s, or when created by a follower ! ==Erupt==* Follower of the [[Path of Power]]level 7 receive the ability to erupt lava tiles and freeze back to rock tiles. Lava flows downhill* Can not erupt on non-allied deed. When trying, and its path can be changed by [[diggingyou will see the message: {{event|inline|terraforming]] in front of itSome psychological issue stops you from spawning lava here.}}* Erupt spell cannot be used on a tile next to a cave entrance
* Lava is the most dangerous tile in [[Wurm]]. It has the potential to [[Death|kill]] in seconds if stood on it. Stay away or expect [[damage]] and potential loss of items and [[corpse]]s!* [[Animals]] will avoid walking over lava, but they can be led onto a lava tile--but will not receive any damage. This can be used to an advantage if a player is being chased by an aggressive animal.==Notes==
* [[Lava fiend]]s and [[lava spider]]s spawn on lava tiles.
* Lava dries up over time and changes back into rock, raising its [[slope]] by a tiny amount.
* Follower of [[Path of Power]] level 7 receive the ability to erupt lava tiles and freeze back to rock tiles. (Can not erupt on non-allied deed. Confirmed 01/2014 "Some psychological issue stops you from spawning lava here.")
* Lava affects the whole 'column' of rock on which it sits, meaning it will appear underground as a 'lava wall' in line with the surface tile.
* Lava walls in caves are not harmful if touched. They act like a solid wall and you cannot pass through them. Also, if you try to mine the wall it will give the message ''{{event|inline|The rock is too hard to mine.''}}
* Priests of [[Magranon]] with above 40 [[faith]] and 40 [[favor]] receive the ability to walk on Lava tiles without taking damage.
* A cart left on a lava tile seems to take 1 point of damage every 18 minutes.
* A lava tile cannot be created on tiles adjacent to a settlement token.
Note : Recent (March-April 2014) fixes to the process that triggers natural lava will increase it's frequency. It may no longer be "extremely rare".
