So my Animal Trainer got moody, claimed a Magma Forge and created a jagged copper high boot.

I expected him to become a Legendary Armorsmith but he's still Dabbling. No gain in other skills either. His status shows "creator of Ingulruthosh Thubilshadmal", so the mood did at least register this fact.

Is there an explanation for this? I only found that Miners sometimes claim Mason shop and get Mining which *looks* like no gain. This is clearly not my case.

One of the mood types does not result in any skill gain. You can check the wiki to see which one it is (fey? [corrected below: it's possessed]).

Possessed.

Like Patrik said.  The Possessed mood is the one that doesn't result in skill gain, and states this in the wiki.  It's best to think of possessed as it's not the Dwarf doing it, therefore they can't learn anything.  An outside force has taken control over the dwarf's body instead of the actual dwarf doing it.

I hate possessed moods and may have on occasion save scummed to get a different mood instead.

This must be it, thank y'all!

I have edited the Moods wiki to surface this info.
