How does one script animal followers to use spells?

[kuripachan]

As the topic's title states, has anyone done this? Is it even possible? If so I would greatly appreciate any kind of help.

What I wish to do with this knowledge is to create an aggressive rabbit follower mod that farts out electricity out of its butt shoots lightning out of its mouth, for the sake of humor.

If you want the creature to cast spells and shout with animations, then you have to edit the behavior files. Otherwise, they can use lesser powers. Add lesser power to their arsenal, then create or assign a CombatStyle favoring magic. You can also attach spells to the melee attacks.

 

Here's a mod with a creature that casts:

Attaching spell to melee attacks (take a look at transformation section):
