Making a follower learn

[firepower02]

I just downloaded some custom spell mod, and I would like my companions to utilize it. Is it possible that I can let my follower learn this spell, and use it on combat, or does it have to be done outside of the game?

you can add the spell via a console command.

Can you please tell me how to do it in the console command? Is there a setting too to make them use it actively or passively?

they'll use it actively if their AI tells them it's a good idea, based on whatever equation skyrim uses to decide that.

<p>Thank you, I will try that out, how do I add a spell if it's custom made? Can I know what spells my follower already knows?</p> Edited May 6, 2013 by firepower02

theres no great way to check without the creation kit or a mod.
