'''Dark Mark {{Ex}}:''' A dark bairn does not have a familiar, instead they have a mark somewhere on their body which contains their spells much like a familiar do. Instead of communing with their familiar, a dark bairn simply meditates and draws power from their dark mark to prepare their spells. A dark mark is visible through clothes through the [[SRD:Detect Evil|detect evil]] spells, radiating an evil aura using the witch's HD. If the mark is somehow removed or amputated, it reappears 24 hours later on another part of the witch's body.
The bearer of a dark mark may spontaneously cast one of her patron spells by expending a prepared or empty spell slot of the same level. The dark bairn's patron spells gains a +1 bonus to their DCs.
'''Extra HexClose Connection:''' A dark bairn has extremely strong ties with their patron, whether they want it or not. At 1st level, a dark bairn starts with an extra hex chosen from the witch list.
'''Dark Channeling {{Ex}}:''' At 8th level, a dark brain's ability to draw upon her dark mark expands beyond its normal limits. She chooses another patron, gaining the associated spells as patron spells. This new patron is an extension of the witch's own power granted through the dark mark, not an association with a new entity.}}
