It is not suffiecient to identify a cation only on a flame test.æ You must also identify the color of the flame which corresponds to a certain element.
This is a spectrometer.
Some flame colours are characteristic of metals present, eg Lilac for K+, Red for strontium. However, this is only indicative, because there are a few at least that have a red colour, so it needs to be proven further with a chemical test

to identify atoms present on an element
Flame tests are often used to identify metals and other substances, such as sodium. If you expose the element sodium to flame, it will give off a bright, vibrant yellow color.

That's because it can be used to clearly identify an element; just as fingerprints can be used to identify a person.

The flame test is not used to detect magnesium; a magnesium oxide rod is used as a support for the solutions of other elements in the flame test.
To identify the presence of certain metal ions, such as sodium and caesium.
