I've always been disappointed in Eldritch Theurge because it is inaccessible to Dragonfire Adepts and I've always wanted a PrC to combine Dragonfire Adepts and Sorcerers so I've decided to make one.

Dragonfire Breath: Add your levels in Dragonfire Mage to your levels in Dragonfire Adept to determine how many Breath Effects you have and what level you gain them. For example a 2nd level Dragonfire Adept/3rd level Sorcerer/3rd level Dragonfire Mage would gain a breath effect as if he had just gained his 5th level in Dragonfire Adept; if they then took 3 levels of Dragonfire Adept they would not gain another breath effect at 5th level in that class, but when their combined levels in Dragonfire Adept and Dragonfire Mage equals 10 they would gain a 10th level breath effect.
Energy Resistance (Ex): At 2nd level you gain energy resistance 10 to whatever energy type the damage that the dragon you selected for your Draconic Heritage feat deals with its breath weapon. If its breath weapon deals slashing/bludgeoning/piercing damage or untyped damager or if it does not have a damage dealing breath weapon you instead gain fire resistance. If its breath weapon deals force damage you instead gain the ability to resist 10 points of force damage in a fashion identical to how energy resistance functions against damage of 1 of the 5 energy types. If your selected dragon has a breath weapon that deals 2 different types of damage (pyroclastic dragon for example) then you instead gain energy resistance 5 to both of them.
At Lv 9 this energy (or force) resistance increases to 20 (or 10 if your chosen dragon has 2 different energy types).
Quickspell Breath (Su): During any round in which you cast an arcane spell which targets yourself you may use your breath weapon as a swift action instead of the normal action it would take. You may not use a breath weapon affected by Spellcarrier Breath or Spellfire Target through the use of this ability.
Bonus Feat: You gain a bonus draconic feat.
Invocation of the Mystic Flame (Sp): When you use your breath weapon you may, instead of applying a breath effect, you may imbue your breath with an arcane spell of a level no higher than your class level. The selected spell must have an Area entry, and may not be an emanation. If you do so the selected spell is applied to the same area as your breath weapon. The spell is expended as if you had cast it normally. This is a spell-like ability with a level equivalent to that of the spell expended.
Breath Weapon Range Doubles: At 10th level a Dragonfire Mage’s breath weapon’s range doubles.
Invoke Power (Su): When you use your breath weapon as a standard or full round action you may sacrifice one spell slot. If you do so you may add 1d8 damage per spell level of the spell slot sacrificed to the damage dealt by your breath weapon. This extra damage is the same type as the breath weapon of whatever dragon you chose with draconic heritage deals. If the dragon you chose with draconic heritage does not have a damaging breath weapon this damage is instead fire damage. If your chosen dragon's breath weapon deals 2 different types of damage with a single breath weapon (pyroclastic dragon) this damage is equally divided between those two types. If your chosen dragon has 2 different breath weapons that deal different types of damage then you choose one to emulate with this ability when you gain this ability.
Spellfire Target (Sp): When you use your breath weapon you may apply this ability to it as a breath effect, to do so you must expend a spell as if you cast it. A breath weapon affected by this breath effect applies the expended spell to one creature caught in the area (even if the spell would normally affect more than one creature). The affected creature must be a legal target for the effect, and the spell may not have a range of Personal or Emanation. This is a spell-like ability with a level equivalent to that of the spell expended.
I still need to add fluff, and clean up the language on Spellfire Target and Spellcarrier Breath (and think up better names), but I thought I could get some PEACHes and maybe some advice on how to do so. Also I feel bad with 3 dead levels, but it's a dual progression class so I don't know if I even ought to try and fill them.
