Can the Prophet (Story feat) benefit be used when casting Beneficial Arcane Spells?

[Abubakar]

If I meet the prerequisite for the Prophet (story feat) from Ultimate Campaign by my character's background, can I gain the benefit of the feat when casting beneficial arcane spells also?

The truth has been revealed, and you have been chosen to deliver it.

Prerequisites: Ability to cast divine spells, and you must either have received a vision from your god (or another appropriate supernatural entity) or have the Marked by the Gods background.

Benefit: If you are nonevil and worship a nonevil deity, whenever you cast a beneficial spell on an ally you gain a +1 sacred bonus to AC for 1 round per spell level. If you are evil or worship an evil deity, whenever you cast a harmful spell on an enemy you gain a +1 profane bonus to AC for 1 round per spell level. Casting a spell on yourself does not count unless it also affects an ally.

Goal: Convert an appropriate number of creatures to the worship of your deity.

Completion Benefit: Your bonus to AC for casting beneficial or harmful spells on allies increases to +2, and the bonus also applies on saving throws for the same duration.

Outside of prerequisites and the fact that you have to follow a god anyway, the spell doesn't explicitly benefit only divine spells, so any spell type is affected.

Obviously this still can't be pulled off without multiclassing a divine spellcaster.

The prerequisites have an alternative to being a divine spellcaster, and the benefit does not say divine spells so yes, it works with arcane casters.

Actually, if you look at how the feat is worded, you must have divine spellcasting to gain this feat: it's 'ability to cast divine spells', AND option a) *vision from your god* OR option b) *Marked by the Gods* background.

That said, it just says a beneficial spell, not separated by category. So yes, arcane spells work just fine.
