Spell of Bottomless Dread

The Spell of Bottomless Dread, Vol. II: , I: The Tale of Tinúviel, Notes and Commentary was a spell that Melkor put on enslaved Gnomes. The Spell allowed them to roam the wide lands, as if they were free; but they did not flee, even when they could, for they 'felt the burning eyes of Melko from afar'. It made them more useful servants, as they were not confined to a single area, and he needed not guards to watch them. This caused the other Gnomes, namely that of Gondolin, to fear any honest refugees, for they might have been Melko's spies., Vol. II: , II: Turambar and the Foalókë, Vol. II: , III, The Fall of Gondolin
Morgoth put the spell on both Meglin and Voronwë.
