Vanishing Realms - Anyway to get through spider webs without a torch?

I'm at the maze in chapter one right after the double-key door. It seems the only way forward is to burn down the spider web in the maze. Only issue is I threw away the last torch I had (kept burning things by accident and I had no idea there wouldn't be more. Do I have to backtrack all the way to the beginning of the game to find a torch? I tried using the wand on the web but nothing happened.
