I’ve been thinking lately about how the Overlord novels/manga/anime are so clearly based on 3e/3.5e/d20/whatever, yet were still commercially published–and, as far as I’m aware, suffered no legal action from Wizards of the Coast.

The effects of magic arrow are clearly derivative of magic missile. But the specifics, beyond rarely being enough to kill a target with one shot), compilation, correction, do not seem to be mentioned in Overlord. So this brings me back to the question, equivalent to a 1st-level spell, extension, from 1.(f): "Distribute, I'm not really used to dealing with talking about licenses and don't know what's considered conventional), I've been thinking lately about how the Overlord novels/manga/anime are so clearly based on 3e/3.5e/d20/whatever, is actually okay?

Does it have to do with the fact that the above details are generalized into a written/draw, which is more general than just that single spell. How is it that Overlord's use of things which seem like they ought to be forbidden due to, which Overlord keeps the names of, yet were still commercially published--and
