In exchange the blighted soul gain a single extra blight ability at 4th and 7th level. This is not however may not be fit for a player character and such a player must have his DM's permission before taking this option.

She can release the absorbed poison as a free action, allowing her to bottle it or poison her weapons very quickly. Any poison preserved inside the blighted soul never lose their potecy, evn if they would otherwise.

Bio-Blast (Su): As an attack action you make a ranged touch attack within 60 ft., dealing 1d6 + constitution modifier in poison damage. This attack is considered poisoned by the blighted soul's toxicity assuming it not suppressed.

Corrosive Poison (Ex): A blighted soul's poison gain corrosive traits, each time she affect a creature with one of her poison that creature also take 2d6 + her constitution modifier in acid damage (saving against the poison do not prevent the damage).

Gas Breath (Su): The blighted soul gain a breath weapon that spray a nauseating poison in a 30 ft. cone, leaving a lingering stinking cloud in the area for 1 round. After using her gas breath the blighted soul must wait 1d4 round before using it again.

Lethal Gas Breath (Su): This ability behave as gas breath except it leave a cloudkill effect instead. The blighted soul must have selected gas breath in order to select this ability and it is tied to the same recharge mechanic.

Solid Gas Breath (Su): This ability behave as gas breath except the gas also behave as solid fog. The blighted soul must have selected gas breath in order to select this ability and it is tied to the same recharge mechanic. This cannot be used in conjunction with lethal gas breath.

Poison Soul (Su): The blighted soul constantly radiate a fully augmented aura of poison, her manifester level is equal to her character level. She may suppress or resume this ability as a free action.

Immunity (Ex): A blighted soul gain true immunity to poisons.

Toxicity (Ex): A 1st level blighted soul's body fluid turn into a deadly poison. Any creature which come into contact with them must make a fortitude save or take one point of constitution damage with no secondary effect. This may apply if a creature bite the blighted soul, kiss her or otherwise come into contact with at least one drop of body fluid. This allow the blighted soul to use her own blood or saliva as a poison. Any body fluid no longer in contact with the blighted soul become harmless after 1 minute.
