This may sound really stupid...

I have played this game many times, but I am not sure of two things.

1) Where EXACTLY do you get the Hand of Fate scroll? I remember getting it once but never again.
2) Where DO you get Caustic Fog? I didn't even know this was a spell you could get until now...

This is where I think I got it last night :P -- Where my cursor is

Does this thing actually exists as a spell? Or are all references only to the green skull?

I know there's this "death ghost" spell, forgot it's name right now, and it's a level higher than Hand of Fate. But where one can get it this I don't recall, but it is available.

That's the Mists of Doom spell. Think you get it in the Catwalk Caverns or about that time at least.

Right, that's the one, thanks for reminding.
The Caustic Fog spell though is only available through the use of the green skull. It might have been implemented for regular use in a beta of Lands of Lore, but not in the full game anymore. There's no way to get it, except hex-editing your save game, maybe.

The weird thing is that it was referred to in a walkthrough I read yesterday. "Use either the skull or the caustic fog spell" ... That's what made me wonder

I was playing this game last week, but took a break after the Urbish Mines. Now, when I'm ready to continue playing, I for some reason can't get the game running. When I click the LANDS file with the MS DOS icon my screen turns black as if its loading the game, but after three seconds it returns me to Windows. I havent made any changes to the game, or to my computer, since the last time I played. What to do?

Did you try to play it in DosBox?

Intro for whoever is in trouble: In my computer it only worked with DOSBox.

About the game:

I loved it! I never really got to love Eyes of the Beholder, to be quite honest, but this one caught me. The game becomes more and more interesting. I think the graphics are pretty aswesome for the time it was made. I can't comment on the sound as...erm... my ....erm... computer has no sound at the moment Anyways, only the mouse thing gets me kinda annoyed from time to time as it also got me annoyed in my beloved Ultima Underworld. Sometimes it just felt like is too much to be done with this little control. Or maybe I'm just freaking slow...

Tip: If you can't run it...TRY HARDER!! It's worth it, believe me.

Why don't you steer it with the keyboard? The cursor keys on the number block on the right side are best suited for it, with 9 8 7 2 for straight directions and 4 6 for strafing, just like on the game's display. All you need to do then is to click with the mouse on each member's weapon or spell icon to attack and that's it
