Can't melt honey into a gold bar either, can you? That's why I said figuratively
Or net/sifting pan as a tool that is not whole is not literal, since there is no such thing as "whole net", but it is correct.
None of the correct answers fit to this riddle 100% perfectly either, as fire starting things not only give you sight, they provide a "functional" kind of fire, i.e. heat, and candle is an inspirational, so it is again much more than just sight. All the correct answers are a compromise to the literal understanding of the riddles to some point, so I don't see why torch can't count as a correct answer, if sifting pan, egg shell or other stuff can.

Also dross absolutely nuisance, because you get it instead of bar, and the only option for dross is to use it as fertilizer. But bloom can be forged to wrought iron and no one uses it as a fertilizer.
