The word walls already look and feel fairly decent, but there are some refinements that can be made. Skyrim's word walls had a whole strip of words on the wall, with one glowing, which was the word that unlocked the corresponding shout.
If the letter of power blocks had a state that controlled whether they were glowing (blue emissive texture vs regular black), the structures for each word of power could be modified to look something like this rough drawing:
Extra random letters would be placed around the word wall word with glowing = false, and the part that corresponds with the word of power would be set to glowing = true.
This would make the word wall structures feel less like a placeholder for the word and turn them into more of a spectacle for players.
implementation TLDR:
give the word wall blocks an extra boolean state for glowing
make that state swap the texture of the word wall block
change the word wall structures to incorporate this feature.
