I believe in a runic sort of magic, like curses or spells.

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.
