Legend
There was a book series I read when I was young and starting with D&D and magic and spells basically came from dragons. Human spellcasters couldn't hope to catch up to dragon's spellcasting. This was 40 years ago or so. So probably after D&D, but not by much. I will see if I can remember what it was called.I'm trying to think of a (western) mythical or literary dragon that is also a wizard and am coming up empty. Dragons that cast spells is a D&Dism as far asi can tell.
I have not read the series , but earthsea dragons (1960s IIRC) use magic and are: "virtual demi-gods who speak the "Language of Creation" as their mother tongue."
EDIT: just check out this wiki lots of spell/magic using dragons: List of Dragons in Literature
