Ok so get a dwarf. Make it an angry dwarf. Kill it's pet, chuck its wife into a shark pit, whatever. Lock him in a room with a butchery and a baby. Babybone artifacts forever.

you really need to study more

1: there is only a chance of getting a fell mood, more likely is berserk, SRM or melancholy
2: noone gets more than one mood in a lifetime (might be wrong on this regarding fell moods)
Fell moods are a type of strange mood, not a type of insanity like the others you listed.

I did make 1 and 2, right? a dwarf gets one mood a lifetime. Is that including fey moods? I assume so. Furthermore, is it or is it not so that the chance to get a fell mood is much smaller than getting an insane, berserk or melancholic dwarf BEFORE they get the mood?

If the answer to question one is yes, and to question two is yes, I laugh

If question one is a no, I'm amazed, if question 2 is a no, good to know

The trick to getting a fell or macabre mood is to have a dwarf very unhappy, but not unhappy enough to go insane.
This is problematic, because unless a large portion of your fortress in unhappy, you'll probably never see one of these moods.
