The rules I'm currently using for these spell-casters are presented below. The spell list and mutation table are for a priest of Mot, also known as He Who Pulls into His Gullet or He Who is Not Worshiped.
Priests
Priests are the religious leaders of Uzite society. They traffic with the extraterrestrial intelligences that returned to Earth after the Deluge, and their performing of certain rites for these entities grants them psychic abilities that humans call spells.
