I uh.... accidentally may have potentially forgotten magma replenishes itself in a volcano. Let's say there's a higher part to the volcano, does the magma eventually reach the top of the volcano? Need to know if I should restart this fort. Although It would be fun! to watch my migrants spawn on to the map and die horrible deaths.   

Picture taken with the meph tileset. I like how it cascades anyway.

ADDITIONAL EDIT : did some small scale tests and it doesn't flood to the top. Thanks anyway.

Magma pools and volcanoes have a "top level" from which magma rains down if the current level is lower (as you discovered), and once that level is reached it won't go higher (there are apparently oddities with reclaimed fortresses, but that's a separate issue). Also note that a wall/floor blocking the "top level"'s direct line-of-sight to the magma flow at the bottom of the magma sea causes the rain to start from the level just below that blockage (on a tile per tile basis).

Can you build something magma safe in/over the hole from above (a bridge?) to plug the hole you made?

If not, at least you don't have to worry about invasions.

The volcano will refill over time, and on reclaim the magma sea and volcanos apparently get refilled. Note the refill area goes slightly around the Texas-shaped zone of the volcano, so you might get strange behaviour around there.

If you want to embed the image you need to add .png or a relevant format at the end. Like this:
