Game systems cannot be copyrighted or patented.

However, identifying characters of note or settings are out of the bat.

You cannot make reference to any named character or town from published settings, or use the name of the wizards's spells.

There is also the realm of fan fiction. If you are not profiting from your work and it does not subtract from the value of the main work, you are usually safe.

There is one web novel that did exactly this. Metaworld Chronicles (I'm not affiliated to that) - it began even using references to D&D characters but then swapped them out after the author (allegedly) talked to a WoTC representative.

You can always change the names of people and places found in published official media.
