So is "counterspell" D&D, MTG, or generic?

Bit murky with Wizards of the Coast buying TSR and making Baldur's Gate Magic sets.

If it's not generic, was Wizards of the Coast stealing from TSR when it used D&D's Counterspell as the name of a Magic card? Before buying TSR, to be clear.

"Fireball" should be generic. Plenty of prior art on those, I should think.




Counterspell and Fireball are both listed in the CC 5.1 SRD [0], so they're fine to use, if I understand correctly.
