Question
More than once, I've seen it mentioned that followers can be taught new spells by commanding them to interact with a spellbook. I've tried teaching a few spells to ol' Lydders, but she simply picks the books up and places them in her inventory.
What am I doing wrong?
Answer
I have done a lot of testing on this and have yet to find a way for a companion to actually learn a spell. If you give them staves that have spells on them they will spam them. As long as they are not conjuration spells. I used Lydia and when given conjuration staves she will revert to her bow and will not even equip the stave that summons. I am also unable to unequip her bow and arrows. They seem to be "Basic" companion items they always have.
So in short: No they cannot learn spells.
Although: If your companion is a spell caster they will cast the spells they already had but will not learn more.
