How did the numenorians and dwarves craft items of magical properties? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Greetings all.

Originally I was going to post this in another thread I made but I thought the two were fairly serperate in their topics so I decided to post a new thread for this one.

Now as most of us know the races of Men, Dwaves, Orcs and Hobbits had no inherit power which basically prevented them from using magical, or otherworldy abilities like the elves, Istari, Maia etc. But it seems that men (namely the numenoreans knew how to craft items of magical properties as did the dwarves.

Now my question is how could they craft them if they lacked the inherit power to do so?

Does anyone have any insight on this for it has riddled me?

cheers.

P.S: Also is there any explaination to the unusual abilities by some men i.e Beorn, Malbeth the seer etc.
