In Tolkien it seems there is something of potency or permanency involved in inscribing a spell. Besides the "spells" Thorin & Co laid while carving runes on the stone over the troll-hoard, there are also Durin's "runes of power upon the door;" and Earendil's "shining shield was scored with runes To ward all wounds and harm from him."
