More on topic...

when you breach the magma from your magma tunnel, do it by carving a fortification to let the magma seep though. This avoids all sort of nastiness and is also very safe.

A good way I have found to breach magma is to dig a area for it to flow to the forges. Make sure there is just 1 tile left between the magma and the area dug out. Don't forget that magma flows diagnally, but not up.

Then dig a route to the undug area between the magma and the area you want it to go, 1 z level above it. Then, channel on the above Z level to breach the magma. After, floor off the channel so no nasties get through.

This works only if you use a part of the magma pipe that is fatter than the others. That is where you will be digging your flow to the forges.
