— In-game description

Lava is an effect players get when standing on environmental lava.

Notes

The Guild Wars Wiki has an article on Lava.

• Caused by standing on certain environments that look like flowing molten rock.
• Causes damage and Burning every 0.5s seconds.
  • Damage continues to occur even after defeat, making revival difficult.
• Some environments can deal more than one stack.
  • Additional stacks do not increase the damage. Instead, the total damage is split between all stacks, and each stack deals its own damage separately.
• The damage caused by this effect is seen in the combat log as self inflicted, reading "You hit yourself for X using Lava".
•  Flame's Embrace negates damage from this effect while in the Desert Borderlands.
