Possibly, but when we were in Iceland you could feel the heat from the
lava on your face and we were about 1/2 mile distant. Even something as 'small' as an iron foundry or the pouring of a slag heap has a remarkable heat bloom.

Standing 500' from the Dofasco coking oven in Hamilton when they were pouring the charge resulted in my getting a rather painful 'sunburn.' Something like the Lodril volcano in Esrolia would be... magnificent in full glory.... from a distance.

Maybe its just me but the real world's pretty impressive. Magic makes
it more so.
