Correct. Most torches that you'll find throughout Norath are ordinary torches, meant for a lowbie human (or other race with poor night vision) to be able to see at night ... and nothing else.
The mage quest torches are special torches that look just like the normal torches, but are "secretly" different/special. It's an annoying mechanic the original EQ devs tried out early on and then abandoned (presumably because it was annoying).
