If the author follows the LOTR scheme on this, it would be a unique imbuing method only known to the dwarves. This would likely be magic runes with specific activated abilities that require the mention of counterpart phrases in the runic language or have different requirements for activation.

Examples would be: (Fellowship of the Ring) the scene of entering the Dwarven Gate of Moria where the mention of a the Elvish word for friend activated the lock on the gate rune; (The Hobbit 1st movie) the hidden runes written on the Dwarvish Map of the Lonely Mountain that could only be read in the moon light of a specific part of the year.
