I think a lot of D&D literature handles D&D spells decently. Dragonlance Chronicles felt like appropriate AD&D spell use that a D&D player would use and would make sense in a 1e world with rare clerics mostly confined to the PC parties, a few NPCs, and some bad guys.He's a character in literature, and none of the books reflect D&D's rules anyways with regard to spells, particularly healing magic and the ability to easily raise the dead.
The drow spellcasters in the early Drizzt novels (I only read the first half dozen or so) felt like AD&D drow as portrayed in D1-3 and later the 2e Drow of the Underdark sourcebooks to me.
