>>1137726kek, we used to always swipe a bunch of magnesium strips to light on the bunsen burner in Physical Science class. a plain match or lighter wasn't strong enough to start it, but once you got it lit it was blindingly bright and hot.
I've got a manganese alloy fork. I think it's one of those deals where Mn is light but to make it strong you have to use a lot of it so it ends up weighing like steel anyway. Or something.
