I always wondered why Imoen had advanced to Level 13 when you free her from Spellhold.
Of course the reason is game-balancing, but what story-explanation could be used for this?
P.S: Sorry for my quite bad english

XP for being tortured?

well you see, because she had the new experience of being insane. And while she was there she spent time with other mages and had a chance to learn their ways. Or if you want i can come up with a huge story for you... hopefully not. Also, the bhaal taint within was awakened, so that could have made her more powerful

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

While being tortured, she learned more about what drives her, her limits, her fears, her origins. She would have fought her own demons(this is meant in a fairly literal sense since this is FR we are talking about here) as an aspect of her fears and problems. That would be enough for such a person(if they survived) to learn alot about themselves.I always wondered why Imoen had advanced to Level 13 when you free her from Spellhold.

Remember XP isn't always about killing stuff, it's also about learning about yourself

that, or the explosion that freed her left a few hundred enemies with one hp so she could gain on the way to your cell.
