Arcane Traditions
Theurgy
A number of deities claim arcane magic as their domain, for
mage is as much a part of the fabric of the cosmos as wind,
fire, lightning, and all other primal forces. Just as there are
deities of the sea and gods of warfare, the arcane arts feature
their own divine patrons.
Such deities often have clerics, but many gods of magic bid
their followers to take up the study of wizardry. These
religious magic-users follow the arcane tradition of Theurgy,
and are commonly known as theurgists. Such spellcasters are
as dedicated and scholarly as any other wizard, but they
blend their arcane study with religious devotion.

Divine Inspiration
When you choose this tradition at 2nd level, choose a domain
from your chosen deity’s list of eligible domains (see appendix
B, “Gods of the Multiverse,” in the Player’s Handbook for
examples). The Knowledge and Light domains are especially
appropriate choices for a theurgist. You gain the feature listed
below associated to the domain chosen.
Knowledge
You learn two languages of your choice. You also become
proficient in your choice of the two following skills: Arcana,
History, Nature, or Religion.
Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you
make that uses either of those skills.
Light
You can interpose divine light between yourself and an
attacking enemy. When you are attacked by a creature within
30 feet of you that you can see, you can use your reaction to
impose disadvantage on the attack roll, causing light to flare
before the attacker before it hits or misses. An attacker that
can’t be blinded is immune to this feature.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Intelligence modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all
expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Nature
You learn one druid cantrip of your choice. This counts as a
wizard cantrip for you. You also gain proficiency in one of the
following skills of your choice: Animal Handling, Nature, and
Survival.
You can thunderously rebuke attackers. When a creature
within 5 feet of you that you can see hits you with an attack,
you can use your reaction to cause the creature to make a
Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC. The
creature takes 2d8 lightning or thunder damage (your choice)
on a failed saving throw, and half as much damage on a
successful one.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Intelligence modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all
expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Trickery
You can use your action to touch a willing creature other than
yourself to give it advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks.
This blessing lasts for 1 hour or until you use this feature
again.
War
You gain proficiency with simple and martial weapons and
light armor.
Additionally, when you use the Attack action, you can make
one weapon attack as a bonus action.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Intelligence modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all
expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Consecration
Starting at 6th level, your spells carry a divine weight that
restricts the unfaithful.
Spells you cast of 1st level or higher that affect an area
have the additional effect of creating an area of difficult
terrain, equal to the area of the spell that only affects
creatures of your choice. In addition, creatures affected by
this area have disadvantage on ability checks.
This area remains consecrated for the duration of the spell.
If the duration of the spell is instantaneous, the consecration
effect lasts until the end of your next turn.
Potent Wizardry
Starting at 10th level, you add your Intelligence modifier to
the damage you deal with any wizard cantrip.
In addition, you can alter the damage type of a wizard
cantrip as you cast it to become radiant instead of its normal
damage type.
You can do this a number of times equal to your Intelligence
modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses
when you finish a long rest.
Divine Mastery
At 14th level, you choose two spells from the cleric spell list,
one from 6th and one from 7th level. You add them to your
spellbook and treat them as wizard spells.
At higher levels, you gain more cleric spells to add to your
spellbook: one 8th-level spell and one 9th-level spell at 17th
level.
