"THROW MOONMIST AT someone" should probably behave like "PUT MOONMIST ON someone" #47

You can put the Moonmist on e.g. the ghost to knock it out:

>PUT MOONMIST ON GHOST
He drops the blowgun and looks surprised and stunned. Then his eyes flutter.
Next moment he collapses on the floor!

But throwing the Moonmist doesn't work:

>THROW MOONMIST AT GHOST
He catches Moonmist with his right hand.

>EXAMINE GHOST
He is wearing heavy white makeup with black eyes and lips. The gown seems to
fluoresce in the dark. It has a high neckline and long sleeves.
He is holding Moonmist and the blowgun.

It's not just the ghost, but this demonstrates the difference more clearly.
