swimming in magma

I'm sure the game won't ever be complete without "swimming in magma" skill.
There should be possibility to create admantine swimming cap and other swimming equipment.
Also diving is important.

Please, Toady, add this feature as soon as possible, - it's very important.  :-\

Just because admantine don't melt, dosn't mean it won't heat up to a temperature that will melt a dwarf.

I'm refusing to believe this.

Magma swimming is an essential key to new possibilities, like magma rivers and magma oceans.
We need more magma.

Oh yea we need magma, always need more magma, but swimming in it takes the epic away from it. A horribly magma induced death is the cause for why we need more magma!

not if you have The Adamantine - which is not less epic!!
epic+epic=2*epic
so it's alright!!

A Legendary lava swimmer should last longer and even in less magmaproof swimming equipment. Bauxite skin - his special ability.

Volacnic eruptions are also great. I know Toady also appreciates them - they are in his ToDo list!

Why would you have a separate skill from ordinary swimming?
Besides, you can already swim in magma- you just need to play as a dragon or magma man or something.
