That he appears in Oz at a time of crisis is the reason why the Wizard becomes powerful in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, the Wizard becomes stranded when his hot-air balloon carries him over the rainbow and into the magical land of Oz. But Oz experiences a crisis because the two wicked witches take over in eastern and western Oz and the ruler over all Oz is missing. As a humbug who is adept at scams, the Wizard knows how to manipulate people's emotions and does just that in getting Ozites on his side. He makes the Emerald City the center once again of Oz economic and political power and builds for himself the Emerald Palace as his flashy residence.
