## 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.
