CAN YOU REALLY LIGHT YOUR TORCH with a MAG LENS?

No, I don't think that's a thing (at least not that I've found).  
 

I just looked at it again today... just to make sure it hadn't changed recently.

It doesn't appear to be an option.
However, I will check again when it's been sunny for a bit longer... right now it's in transition.

Let me dig through my archives and confirm…

Quote

I let myself in, and, with high frostbite risk, I ran to the stove. No matches. I went back outside; fortunately the weather had cleared up enough for me to light a torch with the mag lens.

I found the first matches of that run a few minutes later, so the mag lens was the only thing I had to light the torch with.

How odd...
(and I don't mean to be argumentative, just that I'm not yet able to find a way to replicate what you suggest)

I just looked at my options again today.

I first confirmed that the sky was clear enough for the Mag-Lens to be useful.
Then I tried lighting my torch.

There was just no option I can find for the Mag-Lens for that task.
Is it a "hidden" option then?  I'd never heard of such a thing.
I suppose I could try to dropping all ignition sources except my Mag-Lense the next sunny day... but as of now I know of no way to actually use the mag-lens to light a torch directly.  

...start a campfire and then use the campfire to light a torch, certainly.

[ManicManiac]

Hmm... I just tested again.

Confirmed the Mag-Lens is currently effective.

Dropped all ignition sources... only a Mag-Lens available in the inventory.

It seems that we cannot use the Mag-Lens to start the torch directly (at least not on the PC /via Steam version)

Good science! I’m on PC/Steam as well, so it must’ve been a bug on my end, but a pretty major one if so.

Even the angriest Timberwolves of Great Bear Island would turn into loving puppies when Keanu smiles at them.
