What's up with that?  Shouldn't she be a Legendary Wood Crafter?

It's somewhat random; some types of moods don't impart special powers I believe.

[FunkyWaltDogg]

She was possessed.  I think my possessed dwarves have gotten the skills before.

[Renaxer]

I've had a dwarf go into a weird mood (forget which one)... then they made an artifact. No skill gain either, but then the dwarf went back to being "normal".

Wasn't a big deal to me.

Already have a few legendary loonies though, too many makes me uncomfy...

"Posssessed" should never give skill.

You know, now that I think about it I'm not sure that I've ever had a possessed dwarf survive the process before.  Duly noted.

I have had a dwarf taken by a fey mood and create an artifact, but fail to gain any skill.
He was a legendary miner/dabbling mason/dabbling grower. He created an artifact bed at the mason's workshop, so I would have expected him to become a legendary mason as well, but there was no change. Is there a rule that a dwarf can only become legendary in one skill, or is this a bug?

[Draxxalon]

I've also had a legendary dwarf (cant remember which skill he had anymore) go into a Fey mood, successfully make his artifact, and I got "so and so has become more experienced" but gained no skills, and no attributes.

Dwarves can indeed be legendary in more than one skill - I have a legendary mason/engraver in my current game (he made an artifact to become the engraver, but was on repeat mason jobs and earned the masonry one through labor).

Really? I had a legendary miner and attempted to use him for engraving when he wasn't mining, and he seemed unable to gain legendary status even though he was the only engraver. Although it's possible I could have missed something.

[Zurai]

It's quite possible to become legendary in multiple skills. Last game I had a legendary swordsdwarf/wrestler/shield user/armor user, and a legendary miner/engraver.

Possessions (magenta !) will not grant any experience even if the dwarf successfully completes the artifact. That isn't a bug. Also, already-legendary dwarves can be inspired and make an artifact and not gain any experience IF the craft fell under the specialty they were already legendary in.

For the miner, it was probably their legendary mining that was selected for the "mood skill".  They use that for working rock furniture sometimes in the moods, rather than any knowledge of masonry or engraving.
