i'm having trouble selceting my twelfth level feat for my wizard 10 palemaster 2

ultimately he's a glory seeker and an undead empire builder
he's an elf, but has been permanently shrunk.
shrunk stats are str 10 dex 18 con 14 int 19( as of lvl 12) wis 14 cha 13 (rolled stats 4d6 drop one)
i have only a few books to select from, on top of core i have complete adventure PH2 and libris mortis

i took the character option from Unearther Arcana for the skeletal minion who is being spell stitched this level.

the feats im trying to choose from

Leadership ( i have whats deemed as a special power, a stronghold, and soon to be great reknown and a +1 charisma, i figure to take a rebuking cleric who has graft flesh and a few other feats that will save me getting (like necromantic presence)

The mother cyst (this was my planned choice, but now i think its a bit expensive for a feat considering it takes two spells to work before you get the death effects)

arcane thesis (thinking of taking this in any of three spells, 1st choice is chill touch to add fell animate or fell drain to and walk around coup de gras adn gaining corpses for the army, vampiric touch - though i dont like its damage cap, and necrotic cyst for the +2 caster level and cheaper if combined with hieghtened spell [although something says that wouldnt work]) on top of this i have a slay mate to help with the metamagic costs on necro spells

fell drain: i like the idea of adding this to chill touch and laying the cold hand of death on commoners in a village (make them goblins and its not an evil act)

the feats i have already are:

spell focus necromancy (PM prereq)
corpse crafter
fell animate
undead leadership
skill focus knowledge religion (pm prereq)
craft wand

any ideas? thematically and character goal wise they all fit with the character
