Learn English – Synonym to “software wizard”

synonymsterminology

Some software programs provide helper functions which guide you through a certain process, and traditionally these are called wizards.

I wish to provide this functionality in the administration-side of a game I am creating, however the game is about magical wizards.

So I was wondering if there are any reasonable words I can use in place of "wizard" to describe a software routine that guides a user through a set of instructions?

Note: I know that the link I provides mentions that some OSes call them "assistants" already, but I am not as fond of this word as I am of "wizard," so am hoping here to find even more alternatives I could use, maybe something original and less common, but equally effective.

Perhaps genie is in keeping with your theme but different enough from wizard.

It has been used before in a similar sense and can perhaps be said to be an abbreviation e.g.

The term genie is used to refer to a “code generation script”. — www.config4star.org
