At each class level beyond 1st, the Pathfinder savant chooses a spell from any class’s spell list and thereafter treats it as if it were on the spell list of his base spellcasting classes; if his base class could not normally cast that spell, it is treated as 1 level higher. The spell’s type (arcane or divine) and save DCs function as normal for his base spellcasting class. All other restrictions of his normal spellcasting class apply. This ability does not allow other spellcasters to prepare, cast, or use spell trigger or spell completion items of esoteric spells (such as a sorcerer using a cure light wounds scroll).
Am I reading this right? If you have more than one spellcasting class, Esoteric Magic adds the spell to all of your spell lists at the appropriate level for each? This suddenly strikes me as a very interesting class for rounding out a Theurge build, or for general use in a Gestalt game.

well savant is -1 caster level because you don't gain spell progression at first level. you only gain 1 spell across all classes which is a bit meh.
Finally the +1 to spellcasting class only applies to one class not two so in your MT example you could only improve one of the classes not both in which case your better off just taking a level of either class to avoid the -1 Caster level.

Yeah, I'm not thinking otherwise but most Prestige Classes are only ten levels and Pathfinder Savant with alternating +1 looks a little better than going back into alternating base classes.
I was thinking of using this with a Beguiler/Witch/Ultimate Magus rather than a literal Mystic Theurge.
Or in a Gestalt game.

heh in a gestalt game if your going for mystic theruge feel you be better off with Oracle/Sorceror since they share same CHA casting stat and have a boatload of class level dependent abilities.
