## Mother Cyst
*You gain the ability to cast necrotic cyst spells by growing a cyst of your own.*
**Prerequisite:** Caster level 1st, Knowledge (religion) 2 ranks
**Benefit:** You grow an internal cyst of undead flesh called a mother cyst. The cyst may be noticeable as a discolored swelling on your skin, if desired.
The mother cyst is slightly painful, but otherwise isn’t harmful. The mother cyst grants you access to a selection of cyst-related spells listed below. You cast these spells like any other spell you can cast, once you host a mother cyst (if you are a caster who prepares spells, you can prepare all necrotic cyst spells without referring to a spellbook, as if you had the Spell Mastery feat for each such spell).
**Necrotic Cyst Spells:**
> 1st—_necrotic awareness_
> 2nd—_necrotic cyst, necrotic scrying_
> 3rd—_necrotic bloat_
> 4th—_necrotic domination_
> 5th—_necrotic burst_
> 6th—_necrotic eruption_
> 7th—_necrotic tumor_
> 8th—_necrotic empowerment_
> 9th—_necrotic termination_
**Normal:** A creature without this feat cannot cast necrotic cyst spells.
