The Wizard is an official front end for GemStone IV primarily used during the 1997 through 2005 timeframe, although it retains a following of dedicated users even today. It is designed to run in a Windows environment, and has been successfully installed on Mac OS X and various Linux based platforms.

The Wizard was initially designed to operate with GemStone IV, DragonRealms, Modus Operandi, and Alliance of Heroes. Some specific screen displays and functions may not operate in all games, or they may operate slightly different. This is because the rules and game mechanics for each of the games is different. Where possible, similar functions have been grouped together.

There are other official front ends, each with their benefits. The StormFront front end is the current Windows environment front end, and includes additional scripting commands and other features not included in the Wizard. The Avalon front end was designed specifically for use with the Mac OS X platform. The Web Client front end is a light-weight front end that runs in most web browsers, but does not have many of the more advanced features of these other front ends.
