Teaches a single word of power.
Overview
Teaches one word of power, the building block of a shout, to your character using the word's form ID. Each shout has three words, so you may need three teachword commands to learn a full shout. After teaching a word you still unlock it for use with unlockword and a spent dragon soul. It is the granular way to learn the Thu'um.
