Not necessarily. I've seen some very nice burning art done with a
magnifying glass (and a steady hand), that was called pyrography.



We all saw that magnifying experiment in school where sunlight was
concentrated on paper till it burned.

Had a guy in my class "borrow" the big magnifying glass and used it to start
a fire on a teachers desk from outside the room when her class was in
session. He was found out immediately and caught. The fire was very minor
and did no real damage.

We did not see him for a week or so after that.
