Hey guys. I had this idea when I was creating my Favored Soul/Bard/Mystic Theurge. I realized that most of the half casters and 1/4 casters can't really benefit from this prestige class very well, so I created some feats that the half casters can take in conjunction with Mystic Theurge to progress some other class features. Tell me what you think and if you believe that they're too overpowered.
Mystic Song
Prereqs: Ability to cast 1st level divine spells, Bardic Music ability, Mystic Theurge level 1 or higher
Benefit: Mystic Theurge levels progress your Bardic Music abilities as well as your Arcane and Divine spellcasting.
Righteous Theurgy
Prereqs: Ability to cast 1st level arcane spells, Smite Evil, Lay on Hands, Mystic Theurge level 1 or higher
Benefit: Mystic Theurge levels progress your Smite Evil and Lay on Hands abilities as well as your arcane and divine spellcasting.
Mystic Woodsman
Prereqs: Ability to cast 1st level arcane spells, Wild Empathy, Animal Companion, Mystic Theurge level 1 or higher
Benefit: Mystic Theurge levels progress your Animal Companion and Wild Empathy abilities as well as your Arcane and Divine spellcasting. This feat CANNOT be taken if your character already has the Mystic Retribution feat.
Mystic Retribution
Prereqs: Ability to cast 1st level arcane spells, Favored Enemy, Ranger Combat Style, Mystic Theurge level 1 or higher.
Benefit: Mystic Theurge levels progress your Favored Enemy and Ranger Combat Style as well as your arcane and divine spellcasting. This feat CANNOT be taken if your character already has the Mystic Woodsman feat.

They remind me of the devoted * and ascetic * feats in Complete Adventurer, by which I mean I also find them interesting and fun. They also really encourage characters to look beyond the no-brainer choices of wizard/cleric, etc. You might want to take a look at those feats, if you haven't already.
My nitpick would be that you need to clarify what you mean by "progress". For example, does Righteous Theurgy simply make your mystic theurge levels stack with your paladin levels for the purposes of the bonus damage dealt by smite evil, or does it also give you extra uses per day?
