1. A reaction system for producing hydrocarbons, the reaction system comprising:
a wellbore extending from a surface into a subterranean heat source, wherein the subterranean heat source is a magma reservoir;
a reaction chamber configured to be maintained at a reaction temperature using heat obtained from the subterranean heat source, wherein the reaction chamber extends at least partially into the magma reservoir;
one or more inlet conduits configured to provide one or more feed streams to the reaction chamber, wherein at least one of the one or more feed streams comprises one or more oxides of carbon, hydrogen, or water; and
outlet conduits configured to allow flow of a first product stream comprising one or more liquid hydrocarbon end products and a second product stream comprising one or more gas hydrocarbon end products.
