The Magic of the Wizard's Dream, released in 2005, is Rhapsody's fourth single. The song featured first appeared in the album Symphony of Enchanted Lands II: The Dark Secret. However, Christopher Lee only performed as a narrator and did not sing, despite wanting to. The band then decided to meet again in December 2004 to re-record "The Magic Of The Wizard’s Dream" with Lee and Fabio Lione singing a duet.

Mr. Lee has command of over 12 languages, therefore it was not a problem to record the song in four different languages: English, German, French and Italian. A video of the English version was shot by director Neil Johnson in High Definition. It featured a 40-piece orchestra and a 20-piece choir.

In addition to the four language versions the band also produced two brand new studio tracks, the fast "Autumn Twilight" and the slower and traditionally influenced "Lo Specchio D’Argento" whose appear on the digipack version.
