In my current "campaign", my character and Vilja are married, she has learned some chants, Magda has been found, etc. I wanted to give her a spell book and found I had no dialogue whatever concerning her spells. I know she is supposed to learn the first set of spells from Henrii. I think it is while I am either gathering ingredients or treats for Falanuu as part of the Donkey tail quest. I never got that dialogue from her about how she had been taught some spells by Henrii. I suspect I went too fast while dealing with Henrii since I had both the treats for Falanuu and the ingredients Henrii wanted on hand in my inventory, so there was no significant period of time where my character was separated from the two of them. The Donkey Tail quest is long done and the dog is sitting at home scratching. I was wondering if there is some console command which could be used to trigger the dialogue where Vilja and Henrii tell me about the spells Vilja has been taught. Right now there is no dialogue topic available relating to spells other than healing spells. If not, I will try to be more alert to that issue next time. I fear I tend to rush all interactions involving Henrii and get them done and behind me. Perhaps a "spell-less" Vilja is the price I will have to pay for trying to minimize contact with Henrii's fingernails on a blackboard voice. Fortunately, for me at least, Henrii is far less omnipresent in Skyrim than in Oblivion.

Vilja's repertoire of spels is rather limited. She may learn a few, I believe, from spell books - not sure which ones. I think she isn't meant to learn much more than she does from Hereri. And she certainly will never learn to cast fire balls (which is probably for the best. Tip: don't give her projectile staves if you value your hide  ) |

So, if you talk to her and select, "Let's talk fighting strategy" --> "Regarding your spells". It's not there?

I don't know the console commands and Dova has suggested not using them. With that said, you rescued Vilja nd went back to Heneri. She sent you to get treats for Falanu AND she had Vilja stay with her to learn the spells. If you had the goodies you can just cough them up. But Vilja MUST leave your company, even if she just stands there looking dazed.
So check in your dialogue with her under her fighting strategies which is where the spells will be listed. If they aren't there, hey! It's fun romping with Vilja anyway, right? Dig out that old saved game from where you had to go play in Eldergleam and do it again. No big deal.
Actually, this has happened to me several times. I've gone from reverting to trouncing Halvassdan in Riften to Vilja rescue in a half hour. Not that big a deal. If you have a major stash of ingredients at home you can run the entire first meeting to getting spells in an hour or two.
With Heneri, just be prepared. Turn on the subtitles to keep track of her antics then put Sheryl Crow or Avril Lavigne on to replace her screech.
Post Vilja rescue things can get bogged down script execution wise. It seems like a good idea to go slower and take your time until Dorknerds is done growing his tail and you get his quest clompeted notice.
PS ALWAYS give Vilja a staff of chain lightning! And save every 5 minutes.
PPS Her spells suck but some of her better chants rock!

My recollection is that Henrii never told me that she had taught Vilja some basic spells and Vilja never told me that she had learned a few. Sniffles-I bet that is what happened. I did not even pause long enough to permit Vilja to leave my company. If there is no way to console around my error, then romp with her spell-less is what I will do. Next time I will likely follow your advice to drown Henrii's croaks with some music. |

thenryb, what are the values returned if you open the console, click on Vilja, and enter: GetStage XX056A71 (Replace XX with first 2 digits of Vilja's FormID)
GetStage XX001829 (Replace XX with first 2 digits of Vilja's FormID)
GetStage XX069033 (Replace XX with first 2 digits of Vilja's FormID)

So Vilja failed to mention about learning spells. This should unlock the spells dialogue for you:
SetStage XX069033 150(Replace XX with first 2 digits of Vilja's FormID)
