You are aware that working examples are long available? http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=59894.0 + http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-9113-bravebridged

tl;dr: It is strictly applied science and there is certainly no need for cheats along the way. Just follow the original idea and make sure you turn part of the magma on top into obsidian each time you drop one step. Use cave-ins to remove most of the floors on the sides of the piston.

You can not automatise since it involves cave ins and digging, i.e. you always have to dig out the lowest level manually once you dropped the pillar into the reservoir, install sth. that triggers the drop and drop. Good luck. For truly automatic magma lifting use minecarts or pumps.
