The Mystic Theurge is a priest of a god with some dominion over the arcane in their portfolio, who specializes in this aspect. They are a deeply holy person who has concentrated their studies with obsessive faith, in order to build on both divine and arcane spell-casting ability at once.
 * Description:**

These priests also give up nearly any study of martial skills, spending day and night in their studies. In fact, it takes a full year of secluded study in order to crack the mysteries of the mystic theurge.

Most commonly it is priestesses of Isis who become mystic theurges, developing the spellcasting ability of witches as a way to honor their goddess who is patron of witches. However, there are those Librarians of Thoth who also concetrate on magic as they aspect of their god they want to explore, over that of lore or law. There are even those few Thothians who explore the song-magic of bards as well.

Some Wayfarers of Ptah become obsessed with magic as a means of affecting reality and experience and an extension of the creative power of their god. It may be exceedingly rare, but a follower of Ptah who adopts the route of a mystic theurge might be a wizard, a witch or a bard.

And then there are the dark powers, who have an aspect of dark magic and black necromancy in their portfolio. Greatly feared are the dark sorcerers of Set and the warlocks of Hiisi.

Among non-humans, Priests of Arenehara Arenesin, Ciriacil Nodelathael and Teneraél Undol have all been known to make a study of the way of the mystic theurge, as have the tricksters of Itzik Zegany.

 * Learned:** Choose one class skill from your arcane caster class and one from your priest class. These two skills remain class skills for you.
 * Spell Progression:** When a new mystic theurge level is gained, the character gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in any one arcane spellcasting class he belonged to before he added the prestige class and any one divine spellcasting class he belonged to previously. The case of witches, their maximum spell casting level is what increases, as they do not actually get spells per day. The character does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. This essentially means that he adds the level of mystic theurge to the level of whatever other arcane spellcasting class and divine spellcasting class the character has, then determines spells per day and caster level accordingly. If a character had more than one arcane spellcasting class or more than one divine spellcasting class before he became a mystic theurge, he must decide to which class he adds each level of mystic theurge for the purpose of determining spells per day.
 * Priestly:** Every level after the first is considered a //priest// level for the purposes of multi-class restrictions. Thus, a priestess of Isis (who have the //dominant multi-class restriction//)) that was a multi-classed witch would have to be two levels higher as a priestess to become a mystic theurge. However, the mystic theurge does not gain or improve in any other class ability (except effective caster level). This means, for example, that she turns undead as her actual priest level.

Restrictions/Taboos

 * The Mystic Theurge must obey all the restrictions and taboos of their priest class, maintaining the ethos throughout. The mystic theurge retains any role in a church hierarchy, though how they continue to rise in the hierarchy depends on the church itself. Any conditions that would make the character an ex-priest apply to mystic theurge as well.
