First Post
Now, I'm posting a Prestige class to one of my world's gods. Voltar is god of craft, magic, and fire. This prestige class is for Clerics who want to specialize on the Magic aspect of the god and Talamar, his son and the Demi-god of Magic.
Servant of the Book
Priests of Voltar who wish to become more in tune with Talamar, Demi-God of magic and chosen of Voltar, take upon this calling. They travel to Calador to consult with the current high Servant of the Book. He will then instruct the student if the student is qualified. At the end of the instruction the student is usually required to go upon a quest before becoming a Servant of the Book.
Requirements:
Concentration: 5 ranks
Knowledge Arcana: 5 ranks
Knowledge Religion: 8 ranks
Spellcraft: 5 ranks
Ability to cast 2nd level Divine and Arcane spells
Any one metamagic Feat
Spell Penetration Feat
Domain: Magic
Class Features:
Weapons and Armor: None
HD: D6
Skill Points: 2+ Int modifier per level
Class Skills: Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Knowledge: All (Int), Profession (Wis), Scry (Int), and Spellcraft (Int)
Attack Fort Ref Will Special
1 +0 +0 +0 +2 Domain
2 +1 +0 +0 +3 Spell Secret
3 +1 +1 +1 +3 +1 Existing Spell Level
4 +2 +1 +1 +4 Bonus Slot 1/day
5 +2 +1 +1 +4 Spell Secret

8 +4 +2 +2 +6 Maximum Spell Secret
9 +4 +3 +3 +6 +1 Existing Spell Level
10 +5 +3 +3 +7 Quicken Spell Secret, Bonus Slot 3/day
Domain: The character may choose a third domain from the following: Spell or Knowledge,
Spell Secret: At these levels the servant can choose one spell known to him and permanently modify it as though it is affected by one of the following metamagic feats: Empower Spell, Enlarge Spell, Extend Spell, Still Spell, or Silent Spell. The level of the spell does not change and once the choice and modification have been made, they cannot be changed. As the servant goes up in level he may choose to modify the same spell with multiple spell secrets. +1 Existing Spell Level: At Levels five and nine the character’s spellcasting abilities are increased in one Divine and one Arcane class. Only the number of spells cast per day is increased.
+1 Existing Spell Level: At Levels three, six and nine the character’s spellcasting abilities are increased in one Divine and one Arcane class. Only the number of spells cast per day is increased.
Bonus Slot: You can cast an extra spell a day of up to third level. This can be either a divine or arcane spell. You must have previously cast the spell that day.
Permanent Maximum: At Eighth level a servant can choose to modify a spell as with the metamagic feat Maximize Spell. This works exactly like Spell Secret except the spell has to be Maximized.
Permanent Quicken: At tenth level a servant can choose to modify a spell as with the metamagic feat Quicken Spell. This works exactly like Spell Secret except the spell has to be Quickened.
Edit: Heavily modified.

my only suggestion would be to go from upping the +1 caster level every three levels to having it done every two levels, though with all the bonus stuff that may be a little hard. It just seems that if I were a spellcaster and I wanted to do a mage cleric combo, I would be better suited by just going up in them alternating, ie 5th lvl wizard 6th level cleric that way I would get the higher level spells quicker, though still only at half the rate of a straight classed magic user. At 20th level assuming the character picked up the PRC at 7th level they would only be able to cast 4th level spells of both while a straight class would have 9th level spells. That makes the caster both gimped and doomed to die or spend his life as a spear carrier for his buddies. By doing it every 2nd level they would be able to cast 5th level spells, it still is a big fall from 5th to 9th lvl spells but at a caster lvl 9 for both cleric and mage it would give them a good number of spells as well as good spell diversification (as 5th lvl spells clerics get planeshift and raise dead among others) So they would be much more able to contribute to the group as a whole and they ould feel more like a fully realized and viable character class. Thats just my opinion though
