Yes... let's used pressurized magma in the giant porcelain statue. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

This design will only work (if at all) with water.

Well, since pumps impart pressure, it would work with magma too.

but magma in fountain is not directly affected by pumps. Is a pump able to drive magma through an U-bend?

Yes, it most definitely can. Pressurized magma acts the same as pressurized water, near as I can tell, having just done exactly that to fill my magma reservoir. (Also, no, it was not a good idea.)

Water flows faster when pressurized. magma does not.
