Mystic Theurge Base Class

My goal instead of trying to balance 9th level casting was to balance 6th level casting. I want this class equivalent to other 6th level casters but through sheer casting ability rather than mixing a vein of casting with some other concept.

I want this to still feel like a fullcaster even though it lacks the top 3 levels of spells.

I kinda want to see some 1st level non-spell powers. Cleric gets Channel Energy and two domains, Wizard gets their arcane school and a familiar or bonded item, Sorcerer gets a bloodline, and Druid gets an animal companion or a domain and some misc nature-y junk. This class doesn't get any.

This class also lacks action economy boosts at lower levels, so you're a 2/3 caster with very few other features. It also makes the Sorcerer/Wizard trade: more spells for later spell access. Maybe it could spend from a pool, or spend existing spell slots, or have a 1/day or 3/day ability to cast from the Cleric or Wizard list at the same level the Cleric or Wizard could? Alternatively, Spell Kenning, from the Skald, would be a fun ability.

Kobolt press has one called the theurge. It is on the SRD.

Neat but it's the exact opposite of what I'm going for here.

One way to make a theurge base class is as a full caster. I'm trying to make a 6th caster base class.
