Question about genasi magmasoul:

Magmasoul: You have a +1 racial bonus to Fortitude. Whenever you take fire damage, your melee attacks deal 1d6 extra fire damage until the end of your next turn. In addition, you have the flowing magma power.

If i take 5 times fire damage, do my melee attacks deal 5d6 additional fire damage until the end of my next turn?

It doesn't say it does that, so it doesn't do that. Rules do what they say and nothing more.

Except for when something that provides a bonus explicitly states that it stacks with itself (such as a star pact warlock's boon), bonuses from the same source never stack. 

Except you inserted the word "bonus." The word bonus isn't actually there, so the bonus rules don't apply.

So what happens, when i'm a magma soul wizard and use Nusemnee's atonement to transfer fire damage i would've dealt to 5 allies? It's like the volcano is about to errupt, right?

Eh, 5d6 is pretty meh. It always surprises me how many people miss that some of the highest damage builds in the game don't even roll for damage, it is all statics. A Ranger's damage is less than 10% from the actual die past Heroic.

So yeah, you'd roll an extra 5d6, no you wouldn't be close to the damage level of a volcano.

True, however a magma genasi melee ranger hybrid wizard who alternates fire bursts and melee attacks could do some damage, though he has the problem of splitting feats, weapons, implements...
