This thread has potential.

A commodity appears at first sight an extremely obvious, trivial thing. But its analysis brings out that it is a very strange thing, abounding in metaphysical subtleties and theological niceties.

Or maybe there's a god who's just completely insane and sends you to Detroit, Michigan in a new body if you ever utter the name "Pat Sajak".

Why don't you try, and get back to us.
 
Here is a research grant of 500,000,000 steel flasks.

What about a flask with Gnomeblight? (don't know if it's even possible...)
Would it be a gnome killer grenade?

I doubt it would break on impact, similar to the way eggs don't.

WORTH A SHOT THOUGH

No, you throw the magma separately.

Oh, yeah, of course.

But would you be able to collect magma in adventure mode if you had access to it? I don't think so but I could be wrong.

You can collect water (I think), so it would make sense if you could do the same with magma.

Nah you can't. I tested this a while ago, and to my disappoint, I could not pick up magma.

Actually I believe you can only pick up water that has been separated from regular water eg. taken out of a container and dropped or something. Considering you don't generally find magma like this it would be hard.

But wait! What if you had a reaction to spawn magma? Hmm.

You'll have to provide warm, moist kittens at the end of each test chamber.

You can collect normal water in your waterskins. However it's an action "fill a waterskin" and it does not register magma as a possible source.

I tried this with nickel flasks a few versions back, and sadly it doesn't work.
