First, what is Theurgy?

Thus we find out that theurgy is a magic user attempting to trace the divine nature of their being - being created by deities, having an eternal soul, etc. - in order to achieve henosis.

In D&D terms, this means that eventually our wizard should achieve this - this is likely to become our level 14 subclass capstone.

What is Henosis?

Achieving unity with the divine, and thus becoming divine yourself. Unlocking your divine potential.

Does this mean you become a God?

Very clearly, no. You do not become a god.

In D&D terms, this means that you become a Celestial.

What's in this then?

In this PDF are three subclasses. All of them share approximately the same level 14 feature, Henosis. All of them share the same 2nd level feature Religious Savant, which grants them access to the cleric spell list. All of them share basically some version of the 6th level feature, Channel Arcana. Personally, I think that version 2.0 is the most balanced, as opposed to 1.0 and 3.0.

Theurgy Features

Religious Savant

At 2nd level, you have the ability to learn spells that are on the cleric spell list. Whenever you learn spells from leveling as a wizard, you can replace one of the two spells you learn with one from the cleric spell list. Additionally, you can add cleric spells to your spellbook if you find them on scrolls or religious tomes. You treat them as wizard spells when you cast them. Other wizards will not be able to copy these spells into their spellbooks unless they also have this feature.

Additionally, the time and gold it takes to copy a spell that is on the cleric spell list into your spellbook is halved.

Lastly, you gain proficiency in the Religion skill.

Semblance of Divine Will

Also at 2nd level, you've learned how to exert your will on the world around you, akin to how a deity might. You have a number of charges of Divine Will equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). When you or a creature that you can see makes an ability roll, attack roll, or saving throw, you can expend charges of your Divine Will to increase or decrease their roll by 1 per charge expended.

You must decide to expend charges and how many to expend after the roll is made, but before the DM tells you what the consequences of the roll are.

You regain expended charges of Divine Will after completing a long rest.

Channel Arcana

Once you've reached 6th level, you've learned how to channel magic with the perfection and purity that the gods do. You can Channel Arcana to cause two different effects. When you use your Channel Arcana, you choose which effect to create.

Choose one of the options presented at the end of this feature description, Positive Empowerment or Negative Empowerment, as your first effect. For the second effect, choose a Divine Domain from the cleric class. You can use this feature to replicate the Channel Divinity option the Divine Domain grants at 2nd level.

These choices cannot be changed and represent the two different effects you can generate with Channel Arcana.

Some Channel Arcana effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect, the save DC equals your wizard spell save DC. If a Channel Arcana effect references your cleric level, substitute that with your wizard level.

At 6th level, you can use Channel Arcana twice. At 14th level, you gain one additional use. You regain expended uses of Channel Arcana after completing a short or long rest.

Holy Recovery

Starting at 10th level, when you cast use a spell slot to cast a spell that is on the cleric spell list, you regain hit points equal to two times the level of the spell slot used.

Henosis

By 14th level, you have learned enough about the workings of divinity to create a permanent change in yourself. You become a Celestial, and can decide to be affected as a Celestial or not when magical effects affect you.

As a Celestial you cease to age, and are immune to magical aging. You gain immunity disease, poison damage, and the poisoned condition, resistance to radiant and necrotic damage, and no longer need to eat or drink for sustenance or to recover from exhaustion. You no longer need to breath. Resurrecting you no longer requires material components, and ignores age and time restrictions.

Lastly, your charges of Divine Will now equal double your Intelligence modifier (minimum 2).

Theurgy Features

Religious Savant

At 2nd level, you have the ability to learn spells that are on the cleric spell list. Whenever you learn spells from leveling as a wizard, you can replace one of the two spells you learn with one from the cleric spell list. Additionally, you can add cleric spells to your spellbook if you find them on scrolls or religious tomes. You treat them as wizard spells when you cast them. Other wizards will not be able to copy these spells into their spellbooks unless they also have this feature.

Additionally, the time and gold it takes to copy a spell that is on the cleric spell list into your spellbook is halved.

Lastly, you gain proficiency in the Religion skill.

Signs of Divinity

You learn the cantrip thaumaturgy as a Wizard cantrip, and it does not count against your number of cantrips known. You learn one additional cantrip from the cleric spell list of your choice as a Wizard cantrip, and it does not count against your number of cantrips known.

Whenever you cast a spell you can choose to activate thaumaturgy, requiring no additional components for thaumaturgy. The cantrip can be triggered in this way during the casting of the spell, the duration of the spell, or directly after the duration of the spell. This overrides the rules of the duration of thaumaturgy and how many effects you can have active at a time.

When you use this feature, you can use your reaction to create a larger show of divine power, increasing the range of thaumaturgy to 100 feet and causing up to 3 simultaneous effects. When you do so, creatures of your choice that see or hear you must make their choice of either a Charisma saving throw or an Intelligence (Religion) check with a DC equal to your spellcasting DC. If they fail, they are frightened of you for one minute. A creature frightened of you by this has disadvantage on saving throws against your spells while they can see you.

A creature is immune to this effect for 24 hours if they succeed on the roll or the effect has run its duration.

After you use your reaction to create a larger show of divine power, you cannot do so again until you complete a short or long rest.

Additionally, while you have these temporary hit points you ignore the effects of exhaustion and have resistance to necrotic damage. If you use your Trace the Source feature to gain resistance to necrotic damage while you have these temporary hit points, you instead have immunity to that instance of necrotic damage.

If you chose the Plane of Positive Energy, you regain hit points equal to double your wizard level. Additionally, you can recover from one level of exhaustion immediately, and for the next four hours when you use your Trace the Source feature to cast sacred flame on a creature, that creature has disadvantage on their saving throw and has vulnerability to the cantrip's damage.
