Spellcasting
The divinate is the master of divine magic. At each level, he gains new Spells per Day and Spells Known as if he had also gained a level in both divine classes that met the Spells requirement of this prestige class. If he had more than two classes that met the Spells requirement, he must select the two to benefit, a decision that cannot be later changed.

Bonus Domain or Feat [10th level]
His mastery of divine magic leaps forward. The divinate may adopt an additional domain, gaining the granted power and adding the domain's spells to the list of domain spells from which he may select each day, or he may select as a bonus feat any Metamagic feat, any Divine divine, any Wild feat, or any General feat that specifically affects or augments his divine spellcasting, such as Greater Spell Focus. The divinate must qualify for any feat selected.
