actually, dwarves had a very large array of this type of 'magic', i bring forth some quotes:

"The dwarves of yore made mighty spells," -Misty mountains cold, The Hobbit

''"And runes of power upon the door." -Durin's song, The Lord of the Rings, Fellowship of the Ring''

They also put a spell on the chest they buried in the Troll hoard to keep it from being taken. May I just point out that the first two may aswell be folk's tales, because well - that's what they are.

The other one could be seen in the same way as runes, or just that Bilbo embellished it perhaps.

I'm merely pointing out this isn't concrete proof of anything.
