Can a Cleric with the Magic Domain put the Distance special ability on their weapon?
I don't see anything in the Magic Domain that grants a cleric the ability to put any special abilities on a weapon.
The Hand of the Acolyte granted power works with melee weapons. The Distance special ability only works on ranged weapons. HotA does NOT turn your melee weapon into a ranged weapon, only the attack made with HotA is treated as a thrown weapon attack.
You'd need a weapon that's both a melee weapon AND a ranged weapon for it to work with HotA and have the Distance special ability. Even in that case, you can't exceed the range limit of HotA if you're using that ability, even if the weapon you use it with has Distance, because HotA cares not for the weapon's range increment.

I agree with Slim. Nothing in the Magic domain or HOA change what special powers go on what weapons. And even if you weapon which is both melee and ranged, like a dagger, so you could have Distance on it and use HotA, HotA doesn't factor in the range increment of the weapon in question and so Distance would not affect the HotA power in any way.
