You need to overcome the Ea? I said that energy released by the splint is insufficient to start the reaction but I don't get why the fuse will though...

Magnesium burns really really hot. About 2200 degrees Celsius.
right, so can I say that energy released by the splint only is insufficient to overcome the ea needed to start the reaction. However, energy released by the fuse is enough to overcome the ea to start the reaction ?? what is another way of saying mg releases a lot of energy?

Yeah you can say that.
"The enthalpy of combustion for Mg is much more exothermic than that of a splint." may do the trick.
