The Mystic Theurge is a Prestige Class from Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition and the Pathfinder corebook. It can basically be summarized as "I want ALL the motherfucking magic!"

Seriously, that's all there is to it. A Mystic Theurge is a PRC that improves your capabilities as both a Divine Spellcaster and as an Arcane Spellcaster. Great if you really can't choose between being a Cleric and a Wizard, or an Oracle and a Sorcerer, or whatever.

To get into this Prestige Class, you need to be able to cast at least 2nd level Arcane spells AND 2nd level Divine spells. You also need either 6 (for D&D) or 3 (for Pathfinder) ranks in BOTH Knowledge (Arcana) and Knowledge (Religion). In return, you get a ten level PrC where each level gives you spellcasting improvement in both your Arcane spellcasting class and your Divine spellcasting class.

The Pathfinder version is a little meatier, in that it gains access to the Combined Spells class feature (which basically lets you give up one class's spellslot to prepare a spell from the other class of one level lower) and the Spell Synthesis class feature (which lets you cast an Arcane spell and a Divine spell simultaneously once per day).

In 5th edition, with the general approach of "class archetypes over prestige classes", the Mystic Theurge currently exists in three different options:

  • The most official option is the Arcana Domain for Clerics, who gets a selection of bonus Wizard spells and some "wizardy" Domain bonus features.
  • From an earlier Unearthed Arcana, we have the Favored Soul Origin for Sorcerers, who gets a bundle of bonus Cleric spells and some bonus class features to suggest a "divinely chosen" motif.
  • From a later Unearthed Arcana, we have the Theurgy Tradition for Wizards, who gain slow access to Cleric spells and the bonus class features of a chosen Cleric Domain.
