name guide to Throwing Vials
msg
o In addition to the standard alchemical
  recipes, there are recipes that exist
  solely to make dangerous throwing vials.
o To throw a vial, first you must mark it
  by typing or binding "mark vial of ...",
  then readying the throwing skill via
  "ready_skill throwing", and then firing
  in a direction by pressing Shift+direction.
o If you have the components, you can easily
  make a vial of sparkshower by combining
  the following in a cauldron:
    o 1 empty vial
    o 1 pyrite
    o 1 phosphorus
    o 1 salt
    o 1 sulphur
o There exist other recipes out there -- in
  fact, you likely already have the components
  for some simple starting concoctions!
