I believe the kill/spare cultist quest is the Seeking Salvation quest, which (if i remember correctly) is actually given by Ser Maximillian. Mason then offers vital information for that quest, and is thereafter a part of it. If you do NOT kill the cultist, Mason will, as you say, not contact you again, and won't give you anymore quests (or so i've heard). Perhaps all active quests by Mason gets cancelled at the same time? I cannot say. I do believe Chasing Shadows is pretty much available right away as you arrive in Gran Soren (maybe after talking for the first time with Ser Maximillian).
