Fairy Tail Thread (Spoilers)

Not really.
Either you accept it as fantasy and take it that falling into magical lava isn't necessarily instant death, or you want to take it as realistic, in which case EVERYONE in that room would have died near instantly from the heat and fumes.

Real lava has temperatures >700C. You're pretty much pineappleed if your body temperature goes above 40C~45C. and everyone in that room was within a couple of meters of the lava. If it was real, they all had seconds to live, the guy casting the spell included.

Still, sinking into lava and coming out with a sunburn and all your hair is way too exaggerated. Even Mario or Megaman dies instantly from touching lava. I get your point, but they freaking streched it way too far.
