Cursing In the Books

So I think we could say that when a curse is said in Middle-earth Mandos hears it, consults Iluvatar about it, and then based on what he says either fulfils it or denies it. Of course this is just speculation. Of corse in Morgoth's case with Túrin it is Morgoth's will that carries out the curse.

I don't think that's a bad idea at all. My only caveat would be that perhaps the Dwarf-curses were 'administered' by Aulë. their sub-creator and 'father'.
