Magic Domain

A number of deities claim arcane magic as their domain, for magic 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 Domain of Magic, and are commonly known as theurgists. Such spellcasters are as dedicated and scholarly as any wizard, but they blend their arcane study with religious devotion.

In the Realms, deities of this domain include Azuth and Mystra, as well as Corellon Larethian of the elven pantheon. In other worlds, this domain includes Hecate, Math Mathonwy, and Isis; the triple moon gods of Solinari, Lunitari, and Nuitari of Krynn; and Boccob, Vecna, and Wee Jas of Greyhawk.

Domain Spells

1st-level Magic Domain feature

You gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the Magic Domain Spells table. See the Divine Domain class feature for how domain spells work.

In addition your deity allows you to prepare spells from the wizard class. When your Spellcasting feature lets you learn or replace a cleric cantrip or a cleric spell of 1st level or higher, you can choose the new spell from the cleric spell list or the wizard spell list. You must otherwise obey all the restrictions for selecting the spell, and it becomes a cleric spell for you.

Magic Domain Spells

CLERIC LEVEL	SPELLS
1st	mage hand, magic missile, prestidigitation, shield

Arcane Scholar

1st-level Magic Domain feature
 
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your cleric spells instead of wisdom. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a cleric spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. When you prepare spells, choose a number of cleric spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + your cleric level (minimum of one spell) instead of wisdom.

You gain expertise in the Arcana skill and advantage on checks with that skill, you are able to use any arcane focus a wizard can use as your holy symbol, and you can attune to any magic item that requires attunement by a wizard.

Arcane Recovery

1st-level Magic Domain feature

You have learned to regain some of your magical energy by praying to your deity. Once per day when you finish a short rest, you can choose expended spell slots to recover. The spell slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less than half your cleric level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher.

For example, if you’re a 4th-level cleric, you can recover up to two levels worth of spell slots. You can recover either a 2nd-level spell slot or two 1st-level spell slots.
