Mixing White Balance

Affiliate Disclosure: We may receive a commision from some of the links and ads shown on this website (Learn More Here)

One of the first adjustments I make when developing a RAW file is to set white balance. It’s a good idea to start there before making lots of other adjustments—sometimes a tweak to white balance is all an image really needs, especially if your exposure was correct in-camera.

But what if a global white balance setting doesn’t result in an image that matches your interpretation of the scene?

The original RAW file, with the white balance temperature set to “As Shot.”

With Lightroom’s Graduated Filter tool, it’s easy to apply different white balance settings to specific areas of an image, especially when you have a clean, straight horizons like in this example.

My unprocessed RAW file, taken with a Canon EOS R, is a nice sunset scene, but the ocean foreground feels flat compared to the dramatic sky.

Setting the white balance to “Daylight” added a little extra pop to the sky, but didn’t have much of an effect on the water; for that area, I actually preferred the look of a cooler white balance temperature.

That’s where Lightroom’s Graduated Filter tool comes in.

The Graduated Filter tool is accessed by clicking on the rectangular icon just below the histogram display (outlined in red).

To use this tool in Lightroom’s Develop module, click on its icon in the toolbar just below the Histogram, then click and drag up or down on a point in the image along the transition where you want the the effect to take place. The greater distance you drag, the more graduated the transition will be. In this example, I clicked on the horizon line and dragged upward only very slightly, as I wanted the transition to be hard. Holding down the Shift key when you do this will keep the transition line straight.

You can toggle a Mask Overlay to see which areas will be affected by the Graduated Filter (Tools > Adjustment Mask Overlay > Show Overlay, or use keyboard shortcut “O”).

Use the Mask Overlay to see which areas will be affected by the Graduated Filter.

With the Graduated Filter in place, I reduced the color temperature until I liked the look. I also boosted the exposure of the water.

Here’s a before-and-after comparison. The resulting image is an interpretation of the scene that I like much better than what resulted with a global white balance setting.

Before any adjustments (left) and after using the Graduated Filter to apply different white balance settings to the foreground and sky (right).

This is just one of the many ways that Lightroom’s Graduated Filter tool can be used to quickly make localized adjustments.

Final result after applying the Graduated Filter as well as a subtle vignette to the entire image.

Nonviolent Protests in Palestine

Palestinians began seeing nonviolence as a legitimate tool against the Israeli occupation in 2002, after the nearly 40-day siege at the Church of the Nativity, when armed Palestinians ran into the church during a gunbattle with Israeli soldiers.

“There was a ... shift in Palestinian mentality that violence was not getting us anywhere,” said Sami Awad, a member of the Holy Land Trust, a nonprofit organization committed to nonviolence.

He said militant groups such as Hamas and the Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade asked the Holy Land Trust to hold training in nonviolent techniques and strategies — although there is a “broad definition of nonviolence.”

“Many people see it as being passive, sitting in a circle, but when we talk of it we talk about it as a resistance — not sitting around expressing our feelings, but ... actively standing up to injustice,” he said. “We stood our ground. We believe in what we are doing. We would confront militants and ask them what they had achieved for us ... retaliation and revenge. It wasn’t easy, but by standing our ground we didn't fall into the trap of their accusations.”

“Part of the training is how to take action and redirect anger and frustration to other actions,” Awad said, noting that the challenge for the nonviolence movement is to educate people so that when they join demonstrations they do not fall back into the familiar pattern of violence.

Some Palestinian leaders like Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, have jumped on the bandwagon and participated in protest marches, planting olive trees and endorsing a boycott of Israeli settlement goods.

So far Israel has proved to be unprepared to deal with nonviolent protests, though some attempts have been made at using water guns and odorous sprays to quell protests rather than by more conventional means. Protesters have been seriously injured at demonstrations, and several Palestinians have been killed. Stun grenades, rubber bullets, tear gas and arrests still seem to be the Israeli weapons of choice.

Hello November {Friday Fragments}

November 1st is my favorite day of the year.
Hubby asked me what I wanted for my birthday.
Do you think this is asking for too much?
I didn't think so either.
Just imagine, unwrapping this gift would be very *ahem* entertaining.
My son thought of me early this morning and sent me this text.
Yesterday I went to the dentist and had a cavity filled.
It's only my second cavity ever. I don't want to get anymore!
My son and his girlfriend broke up after three years of dating.
I've been going through withdrawals. I really liked her.
She used to help me with the daycare kids when she got home from school.
The kids have been asking about her. They really miss her too.
Tonight my family and our best friends are going to celebrate my birthday by going out to dinner (and mostly likely drinking a bottle -or two- of wine)!
Happy Friday Friends.
Half-Past Kissin' Time
Check out Mrs. 4444s for more Friday Fragments

22 pretty purplexing comments:

  1. Happy Birthday Tami! Only two cavity's holy wow! I won't tell you about my implants:(
    Hmmm that would be a great gift!

    I wish our youngest son would break up once and for all with his girl friend. No one in our family likes her not even the little kids and dogs. Sad.

    If your two were meant to be they will get back together. It is all kind of awkward when that happens.
    Have a great weekend.

  2. Happy birthday to you! I agree about your gift choice. Very nice. Three years is a long time to have someone around. I can see how that would be a big change for you as well as your son. I hope they can both move on without too much anguish. I do not miss the dating years. Enjoy your birthday evening out!

  3. I hope your Birthday weekend is the best.....don't be mad if Adam is late after all I had him for my Birthday and we are having so much fun! lol don't i wish! much love and happiness in the next year!

  4. Enjoy your birthday celebration. Enjoy your wine. You deserve it.

  5. Just popped over to say Happy Birthday! hope you're having a fun night!
    ooohhh, too bad about your son's girl. I never thought about that side - I usually worry about what if I DON'T like them girl friends. not that I might really like her and my son would break up with her. drat. Well, I got a few years yet to work it out since he's only 9. ha

  6. I'm glad you had a great birthday, not too much to ask but I hear there's a waiting list. ha ha

  7. Guess I better get in line if I want him for my birthday next year. LOL

  8. Thank you for the birthday wishes.
    I always worried I wouldn't like the girl too. Now that he is single again, I wonder once again, if I will like the next one.
    You, my dear, have quite a few years to go!

  9. Oh Kathy, how can I be mad at a woman who has the same taste in men as me?
    I love you sweet lady!

  10. Thanks Dawn!
    Change can be hard, but also can be good. One of life's lessons my son needed to go through. As a mother, it's hard to watch him hurt. =(
    Birthday dinner was great!!

  11. That has to be tough to be around a girlfriend no one likes. Even the dog? jeesh, she must be a winner!
    Enjoy your weekend too.

  12. Happy Birthday!!! Hope you had a nice dinner. Sorry about the break up. My daughter and SIL are separated now for 2 months, it is all so depressing.

  13. Happy Birthday long relationships do get the whole family involved which makes the break up even tougher.
    Take it, ignore it, or maybe already know, advice - don't let yourself compare the next girlfriend to the old one unless he asks you.

  14. I imagine the line would be reminiscent of a black Friday Walmart line. Only lots of Victoria's Secret models there.

Ethical Conflicts In Buddhist Society

Pub. Date: 2011
Print ISBN-13: 9788175333161
Subject: Buddhism
Price: USD 25.00 USD 18.75

It is well-known that Buddhism is the most ethical of "religions". An important part of the Noble Eightfold Path relates to the development of ethical conduct; for many a layperson Buddhist practice consists mainly in the "keeping of the precepts"; many Bhikkhus see in the Vinaya rules the essence of the religious life; and even many of the paramitas expected of those aspiring to Buddhahood are ethical in nature. The experience of suffering is the starting point of Buddhist teaching and of any attempt to define a distinctively Buddhist social action. There is, of course, much gross, objective suffering in the world and much of this arises from poverty, war, oppression and other social conditions. We cling to our good fortune and struggle at all costs to escape from our bad fortune. This struggle may not be so desperate in certain countries which enjoy a high material standard of living spread relatively evenly throughout the population. Nevertheless, the material achievements of such societies appear somehow to have been bought by social conditions which breed a profound sense of insecurity and anxiety, of restlessness and inner confusion, in contrast to the relatively stable and ordered society in which the Buddha taught.

Margot Robbie Will Indeed Return For James Gunn's 'The Suicide Squad'

Will she or won't she? Despite conflicting reports whether Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn would appear in James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, the most recent just a few days ago, it now appears that she will. The update comes from Forbes, who gathered more information that disputed their previous report that she would not have a role in Gunn's reboot.

"I have learned from sources close to production that in fact, the information about Harley Quinn being absent from the new Suicide Squad movie is no longer up to date -- she is indeed expected to appear in James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, which is expected to begin production later this year."

Well, good on them for updating the previous story, which had claimed Robbie's future in the DCEU was basically limited to just Birds of Prey. She wouldn't be appearing in Gotham City Sirens, either, nor would that film be part of an all-female trilogy of movies. But it looks as if Harley Quinn will continue on as part of the Suicide Squad, even though Gunn's sequel is being seen as a soft reboot.

Harley Quinn will be seen next when Birds of Prey opens on August 6th 2021. The Suicide Squad should begin production later this year.

Governor Recognizes Dr. Ciotola as Rural Champion

Dr C Kohler and Commissioner websize

 Governor Larry Hogan recently issued a Governor’s Citation to Queen Anne’s County Health Officer Dr. Joseph A. Ciotola, Jr. recognizing him as a Rural Champion in the state of Maryland.

 “Everything Dr. C touches turns to Gold,” said County Commissioner Philip Dumenil. “His ideas are years ahead of most and his passion for accessible and affordable healthcare is over the top.”

 Linda Kohler, Executive Director of Chesapeake Charities nominated Dr. Ciotola for his many contributions. She wrote, “Dr. Ciotola believes in making health care better for all people. To that end, he is passionate about providing innovative services to Maryland's most needy residents - the elderly poor in rural communities. Dr. Ciotola was the brain and heart behind Queen Anne's County's Mobile Integrated Community Health (MICH) program which is now a statewide initiative benefitting thousands of Maryland residents. Through the MICH program, teams of public health nurses and paramedics visit impoverished individuals in their homes and link patients to community resources, improving health outcomes and reducing trips to hospital emergency departments for individuals with complex medical conditions. In addition to serving as both the Health Officer for Queen Anne's County and the Medical Director for the Department of Emergency Services, Dr. Ciotola graciously accepts appointments to state health committees, testifies before the legislature on important health policies, serves on local and regional boards and committees, and, at the end of a long week, is a thoughtful father and husband - not to

mention a terrific ballroom dancer. Dr. "C" is a renaissance man dedicated to improving the

health of his community. His many years of service should be recognized and applauded.”

 When Kohler read that statement during the December 11, Queen Anne’s County Commissioners’ meeting, the Commissioners and audience gave a standing ovation in honor of Dr. Ciotola.

 “Thank you very much but this is not just a one man show,” said Dr. Ciotola. “This is something that was accomplished because of the dedication of many individuals in this county, both from the department of emergency services, the health department, area on aging, social services, transportation, and, not in the least way, the commissioners of Queen Anne's County who had the faith and the confidence and the support to enable us to start this program which was the pilot for the state of Maryland and is now gaining popularity throughout. We are still fighting that battle for sustainability, but it is a program that truly addresses the needs of our elderly, our vulnerable and those that most need medical health.”

Nuclear Energy: It’s All About The Science-y Bits

Sorry I wasn’t here yesterday.  Family is in town.  Ever take a class that just stuck with you?  Well, that was my course on the basics of nuclear energy during my one summer semester at the University of Wisconsin – Green Bay.  Day one, our professor made it abundantly clear that if we ever used the nu-CUE-ler pronunciation so common today, he might actually mark us down for it, then wrote the word nuclear on the board, followed by new-CLEAR.  Suffice it to say he made his point, at least for me, and the pronunciation stuck.  As did many other lessons.

Well, I got to thinking about this class again the other day when I glimpsed the phrase “renewable energy” yet again.  The phrase is a misnomer, because energy is inherently renewable.  Scientifically, energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted into either matter, or other types of energy.  The use of the phrase in the context of our world today is meant to give the sense that energy is a finite thing, but this is not the case. If energy were a finite thing, the world would cease to be. Energy is constantly transferred and redistributed by both living and nonliving means, without the aid of human intervention. Energy is transferred when we eat, move, live, die. It is part of our world.

Anyway, back to renewable energy.  So, in the United States, at least when I first took this class over five years ago, my professor told us that prevailing sentiment was that nuclear anything was probably bad, and nuclear energy was not a great way to go.  I was a naive college freshman, and didn’t bother verifying.  Yesterday, I dug up this article from the Nuclear Energy Institute to find that actually, we might be looking at people wanting nuclear now!  Happy day!

I say this because it’s one of the most renewable sources of energy we could want.  To make a really scientific process very simple, there are two different kinds of useful uranium.  Enriched uranium, and depleted uranium.  Enriched uranium is the stuff in fuel rods.  It makes nuclear reactors burn.  And believe it or not, most nuclear power plants, like most other large power plants, are basically glorified steam engines.  Long story short, here’s a video, so I don’t take up another thousand words explaining it.

<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>

Got it so far?  Cool!  Now here’s the really amazing part.  Depleted uranium is the used up fuel rods.  It can be turned into armor for tanks.  OR it can be shipped to a different kind of reactor, called a fast breeder reactor- wait, did I just get ahead of myself?  Okay, so nuclear power plants are all pretty much steam or boiling water turbine power engines.  The heating process is powered by the nuclear reactor.  There are different kinds of those.

Slow burn reactors, used in the United States, have enriched uranium fuel rods.  Once those fuel rods become depleted, they need new fuel rods.  Even then, they use only about 1% of the available energy potential of the fuel.  Another type of reactor, called a breeder reactor, can actually utilize nearly 100% of the reactive potential of the fuel used, and can utilize both enriched uranium, and natural uranium.  The NEI has a ton of information on types of reactors that you can check out as well.

It’s a fascinating subject, and I think instead of talking about energy itself as if it’s some mystical, finite resource, we need to start talking about the sources of energy.  Let’s be specific in our conversations.  I’ll see you all tomorrow, when hopefully, I’m more awake.

…ever so stealthily, Christmas has arrived

As usual, December 1 marks Christmas at our house.  I pulled out my favourite, happiest ornaments as it will be my little grandson's first Christmas. This Christmas will be a bit more relaxed and less stressed. For once in my life I did not buy any extra Christmas ornament of any kind, rather used what I had. For me, decorating for the holidays can overtake my weekends - this year I just put some great music on, poured myself a glass or two of a good Chablis and spent time  putting ornaments on the tree and reminiscing about Christmas pasts.  Then I put on Netflix and enjoyed watching old episodes of "Charmed". Kind of a girly weekend I know, but ever so fulfilling.

Keoladeo Ghana National Park, BharatpurBharatpur is a tiny yet popular destination in Rajasthan. The city houses the rarest of birds including Flamingoes, Siberian cranes, Falcons and three hundred and sixty other bird species. Bharatpur is a pilgrimage for bird lovers. The land is equally rich in flora. The forest area of the region is dominated by a blend of woodland and marshes. October to March is the best time to visit Bharatpur as the weather is quite pleasant during this time of the year.

Bharatpur is famed far and near for its World Heritage. The Keoladeo Ghana National Park it houses, is major tourist attraction. All those visiting Bharatpur make it a point to see the Bharatpur bird sanctuary. It is equally popular amongst the non-bird watchers as well.

The history of the land dates back to the 5th century when it was ruled by the Matsya kingdom (dynasty). But in the recent past, in the 18th century, Bharatpur was dominated by a Jat community. Later in the 19th century, the rulers signed the first friendship treaty between the North West states in India and the British East India Company.

The Keoladeo Ghana National Park in Bharatpur draws hordes of tourists to this place every year during the winter months. The town also has some attractions for the tourists even though they pale before the charms of the sanctuary.

Reaching There

Agra is the nearest airport and regular flights from Delhi, Lucknow and Mumbai connect Agra. Bharatpur is linked with all the main cities of the Rajasthan state and outside through a network of buses. Regular rail services connect Bharatpur with a number of cities in India.

Robots - Humor

Oh I could use one of these robots, but I'm afraid of what it can do!

A father buys a lie detector robot that slaps people when they lie. He decides to test it out at dinner one night.

The father asks his son what he did that day.
The son says, "I did some schoolwork."
The robot slaps the son.
The son says, "Ok, Ok. I was at a friend's house watching movies."
Dad asks, "What movie did you watch?"
Son says, "Toy Story."
The robot slaps the son.
Son says, "Ok, Ok we were watching porn."
Dad says, "What? At your age I didn't even know what porn was!"
The robot slaps the father.
Mom laughs and says, "Well he certainly is your son!"
The robot slaps the mother!

More from Ted Hand on RAW

Some recent Tweets from Ted Hand (@t3dy). Hand's Twitter profile says he is "ex-Nova Cop digs Renaissance Magic Alchemy Gnosis+Angels, Discordia/Psychedelia/Pataphysica, SF Fantasy BodyHorror+VGame Theory, Music,Cats,Comedy,Detectives."

R.A.W.'s allegorical use of flames, ambulances, protest tactics as weird models of consciousness change in illuminatus! deserves more study.

R.A.W.'s "The Widow's Son" is one of his most successful experiment. Hilarious+highly readable, original use of "fake" footnotes, thrills...

I'm surprised I haven't seen more studies of R.A.W.'s The Earth Will Shake in the light of Joyce's "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man."

R.A.W.'s "Masks of the illuminati" has some weird joycean elements but they don't interfere with it being a ripping good suspense novel/trip

The R.A.Wilson nonfiction book I'm most interested in is Coincidance. Long fascinated with the hints/wonder if anybody's decoded his cabala.

michael said...

Does Ted have a blog or website? I musta missed it.

I remember his great posts at the RAW newsgroup (olde media), back when he was Sned The Bold.

Bobby Campbell said...

Re: "The Earth Will Shake" & "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" connection.

I noticed this when I happened to be reading "Earth" at the same time as listening to "Portrait" on tape. I hit the 'hell sermons' of each book on the same day and asked RAW about it:

No writer ever knows consciously all the influences on his work
I did know the influence of Portrait of the Artist
on Earth Will Shake

& two others you didn't mention:
Huckelberry Finn by Twain and
Intruder in the Dust by Faulkner

Replace religious bigotry with racism
and you'll see the Mississippi/Napoli parallels

Cleveland Okie (Tom Jackson) said...

I keep hoping that my Twitter posts will get Michael Johnson, Eric Wagner and Arthur Hlavaty to join the conversation. That would be awesome!

sorry I didn't see your comment earlier Michael -- good to see you! was a blast (met some great heads on the alt.pkd too), although I think you may overestimate the quality of my poor juvenile posts...

here's a blog that links to a bunch of my notes on research into RAW+PKD-inspired religious studies still programmatically undisciplined, but hopefully a little more coherently

Our favorite custom races!

So, we have all made a custom class at one time or another, yes? Then why not share it with the rest of the inn! I'm sure everyone can benefit from knowing what comes out of the dark recesses of their fellow innmates minds

My personal favorite custom class is problably a Bappi <3

Bappis: A humanoid, Bappis are set apart because of their animalistic and angelic qualities. Bappis have long wings that are directly connected to their spine between their shoulders blades, and are roughly seven feet from tip to tip when spread out. They can only use these wings to hover and glide, not fly; when not in use, the wings hang to the ankles. In addition, Bappis have claws instead of nails, and cannines a bit longer than humans do. Other than that, they have a humanoid appearance, and no other special skills.) The wings are pretty compact and light, usually pressed up close to the body. It's like wearing a flowy cape, basically, talking space-wise. If their wingsare injured, it would hurt as much as getting hit in the leg or so, but they would heal nicely unless they were completley ripped to shreds, in which case a Bappi would have to sever as much of their wings as possible. If you can treat the wings like you would someone's arm, you get a better idea. The claws and fangs are also pretty versatile, and very rarely get in the way of anything they do.

I suppose one of the favorite "custom races" I've ever come up with would have been the Bhandaf... they sort of developed from a combination of a mutant mountain lion that I came up with for a Gamma World game, a dose of fantasy from taking that character out of the Gamma World setting and playing him in a "freeform" setting for a time, and, finally, a years long world building exercise in which I kind of fleshed out an entire planet, history, organizations, etc based on ideas that had grown out of the whole shebang...

In essence, the Bhandaf are cat-folk who "mutated/evolved" out of the "big cats" left on a post-apocalyptic Earth... I'll have to see if I can't find all of that stuff...

Trivial Edit: Just realized that this is my 3000th post! Yay us!!!

Gem Babies And Zenks

Zenks: At first my idea was just a mere encounter, a similar look to Hook Horrors or whatever bipedal exoskeleton creature one can think of, Jill [my wife will eventually draw one up for me ] - but when my players became to accustomed to defeating my evil creatures, I had to developed a way to make them a better challenge, I always shock them, just when they thought they had it all figured out. I evolved my creatures, I made it that they mated with greater doppelgangers, so they gained the ability to change into other races, with a new purpose, to have control of my world. By corrupting any with a black egg type organism, called the Zhagannag [don't ask I can come up with weird names in a second] this egg consumed webs in the inside of your body, increasing certain abilities as needed. Once taken however, the Zenk that gave this to you slowly gains control of your life. In short, I have controlled many of my Players' characters, and they have spent many a game looking for revenge. Zenks slowly have been a bane to many of my Gamers, and I made it worse for them, when they became part of their own society.

Their [my] creation is forever evolving and my Players fear facing them.

Gem Babies: My own fairy type creature/being, they were originally called Zhornuggan [derived from sore nuggen], due to the fact that many of us used to great each other with a nuggie, ok just me. Since they are a nuisance, then I went with the name, they are fairy type beings with gem type flesh, and there are, Crystal, Ruby, Emerald and Sapphire. They eventually became so popular, after I stopped making them a pest, they evolved more to be like a pseudo-familiar. The Crystal have a touch of healing properties, the Ruby have fire attack damage or can help with keeping warm, the Emeralds are your thieving type, and Sapphire are you warrior type. They seemed to turned out to be cute, for the voices I gave them, their adorability also rose since I gave them cat-like behaviors, as they purr when they are happy/hurt or otherwise, take a long time to find a resting spot during sleeping time. Their voices specially to the "warrior" Gem Babies seem to be enjoyed specially when they try to be serious, as I ended given them child-like pitch.

These two races, specially the Zenk are now in my current novel that is on the works.

Well... (long post)

I'm not certain how 'valid' it is as a RACE, per se, but I have created, rather recently, a new 'state of being' per se. That is to say, in the same way as "Lichdom" COULD be a race, or being a Vampire...or even a God/Demigod, I suppose.

It's actually still in planning stages, and I'm cautious what I'll post...because it actually might be relevant in the game I'm currently DMing on this site. But essentially, though I have yet to finalize a name for the race, but essentially is a state of being that was unintentionally created after a God is killed. Originally those of this race were almost unheard of...a few surviving ones existed in all of the realms, but since an event known as the God Wars, they have appeared in enough of a number to be recorded and written of, and so certain scholars or mages may know enough about them to consider them a geniune race.

Essentially, a 4e race, not intended to be playable by any means, and something of a counterpart to a 4e Epic Tier Monster Race: The Forsaken.

In most cases, when a god dies, the near-infinite energy that composes most of its being, and also the spring of energy that can be channelled by certain followers (hence the existence of Invokers, Clerics, Paladins, etc, who use their 'divine spark' to collect and channel the energy that their god gives them), dissapates....though violently so, when a god is slain by violence. A rare occasion, to be fair.

The vast majority of a Gods devoted follower's with a Divine Spark are killed instantly in the aftermath, the backlash. Some get away with varying degrees of injury, sickness or mental scarring. Many lose connection to their divine spark, some consider theirs lost, destroyed with their god. Some remain either lucky or strong enough to devote themselves to another God, and still be able to use their Divine Spark to continue to channel energy if their new God grants them such power. Many simply go mad, often dangerously so.

However, a tiny portion suffer a different fate. Rather than a whole part of them being ripped away, or struck in a backlash, some of the most powerful mortal followers of a God, the 'closest' to their God (such as a High-Priest, perhaps, or some similar level) find themselves in some way taking some part of the explosion of energy. The circumstances are rare, and are varied in how they can come about or effect someone. An example may be a High Priest of an evil, treacherous god, and the priest himself seeks to steal some of his Gods power in his Gods last moments. Another may be a priest of a Good God, whom in a last-ditch attempt to save some shard of his deity will open himself subconsciously as a 'storage', a haven for his God's being, in a desperate attempt to protect his own deity.

Whatever the reason, the results are often not pretty. Imbued with an element of a God, their own personalities or even mind can be completely obliterated, or at least pushed aside. As with normal clerical or paladin followers of a god that dies in such a manner, some of these 'imbued' will lose their sanity. In fact, most will. Some will grow violent, some will be left mindless, a rare few will grow to embody some aspect of the vestige of their god that they carry, an even rarer few will be able to survive relatively sane and 'normal' even after an experience. Regardless of what happens to them, all of these 'imbued' carry one thing in common. A terrifying capability for destruction, or at least be capable of great feats of power.

Depending on the God, and the follower, and the circumstance, so many things can happen. I have much more detail about the race, such as the 'lifespan', the limitations to their power, and what their motives often are or can be. But even as much detail as I've gone into here, I won't go any further lest I give my players undue advantage in my game later on.
