'' Wishmaster '' 's sound continues the bombastic symphonic power metal approach originally featured on '' Oceanborn '' , albeit with more emphasis on atmosphere and melody versus speed and heaviness . Perhaps even more so than its predecessor , '' Wishmaster '' has a very clear fantasy theme . While commonly considered to be closer to conventional power metal , there is still a great variety with slower songs like " Two for Tragedy " and " Dead Boy 's Poem " , and more epic pieces like " FantasMic " . " The Kinslayer " is written about the victims of the Columbine High School massacre . " Wishmaster " was inspired by the fantasy novel series '' The Lord of the Rings '' and '' Dragonlance '' , mentioning Elbereth , Lórien , and the Grey Havens from the former ; and Dalamar , Raistlin Majere ( Dalamar 's '' shalafi '' , or " master " ) , Gilthanas , the Sla-Mori , Silvara and the Inn of the Last Home from the latter . " FantasMic " is a song about the Disney animated movies , particularly their fantasy and fable elements , taking its title from the Disneyland show '' Fantasmic ! ''
