Will it deform or damage the diamond a little bit or will it come out flawless if taken back from the molten magma?

A diamond will burn if exposed to enough heat. I seem to remember that Benjamin Franklin proved this when he burned a diamond in a fire.
So yes, the diamond would be destroyed if it fell into magma. Diamonds are crystalline carbon, so it would react with ambient air and become carbon dioxide.

diamond melting point 3550°C
maximum Magma temp 1600°C.
conclusion left to reader

the melting point of diamond is 3820 degrees Kelvin so unless your magma is that hot (which i doubt it will be) then the diamond will not melt

my guess is yes since some diamonds are made through volcanic processes, like in the ones found in the ground in Arkansas.Like adding hard frozen butter to hot heated butter as a simile .

Diamond is pure C. It will evaporate as CO2.

no, it'll just burn. I've heard that diamonds can burn at temperatures as low as 350 degrees.
