Bioware didn't invent it. Nor did they invent Otiluke, Melf, etc. They are all wizards from the Greyhawk campaign world. Since that was the first campaign world, when the players who played in that first campaign in that setting long ago came up with spells, they were added into the list, and eventually made their way into later books. Thus Melf's Acid Arrow, Mordy's swords, Otiluke's Resilient Sphere, etc.
