**Element(s)** poison, wood, and viscera; **Type** utility (Sp); **Level** 9; **Burn** 1

**Prerequisite(s)** fungal infection, spore infusion

**Saving Throw** Fort negates; **Spell Resistance** yes

You infest a creature with a specialized fungus which controls its body for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 your kineticist level. If the creature is a corporeal undead, treat it as if affected by *control undead*; otherwise, treat it as if affected by *dominate monster* and as if you do not have a language in common, except you cannot concentrate to receive sensory input from it. If the creature is infected with the pulsing puffs disease, the target is immediately affected by its effect. In addition, the target takes 1 Int bleed, 1 Wis bleed, and 1 Cha bleed for the duration, and you can accept 1 point of burn as a standard action to increase this ability bleed by 1 each. If a mental ability score is reduced to 0 in this way the creature becomes mindless and gains the fungal creature template; it prioritizes spreading its spores above all else, even ignoring self-preservation to this end. You can only affect one non-mindless creature with this talent at a time.
