[Path/Book Magic] Expanding on The Magic of Stories

For the fairy tale archetype of the wonder maker, as opposed to just some enchanter guy, the essential tools should also include some divinatory abilities that can give them insight into the story at foot and what type of special magic item will truly help them. These don't have to necessarily tell them what the story is or the plot is, it might literally just say what kind of device will be helpful.

Also this character concept does exist outside of fairy tales: Q from James Bond fills the same role, for example.
