I had this momentary image of the Archmages all drained of their experience and reduced to the state of new-born babies... leaving the Company to raise a handful of toddlers with immense magical potential...

Yes, it has.
I don't remember exactly what it gained -- I'm thinking it went from +1 to +2 -- but it was during the time when they were hunting orcs with the dwarven guides, trying to expose the red-armored foe that was rallying the armies of humanoids.
If this was answered, I missed it too. Any chance of finding out, Sagiro?

I will also offer Dranko's 29 Rules for Adventuring:
1. Don’t tell the guard you’re going to go with him.
2. Avoid stealing stupid things.
3. No socks in the icebox.
4. Half-orcs do NOT eat quiche.
5. Too many rats can nibble the halfling. Rat-fishing and rat sausages will never be popular.
6. Avoid the evil baker.
7. Don’t hit the monster with a bush.
8. A frontal assault is the fastest way to die.
9. Always club the mage first. <Note: party members wish the word “evil” inserted here.>
10. Heal first, chase and fight second.
11. Look at the ceiling. Yes, now!
12. Sigils are icky. Don’t read them.
13. Bad things come in big boxes.
14. Tie down the rope before jumping ship.
15. Look under the altar, or under whatever is heaviest.
16. Don’t leap the monster. Yes, even this time.
17. When given freedom, take it.
18. If you seal a room shut, search it first.
19. Don’t sass the archmage or the assassin.
20. Look both ways before crossing the carriage-way.
21. Everything is funnier with a monkey.
22. Everything is our fault.
23. Ask for stuff. You never know.
24. I take the one on the left; Morningstar gets the one on the right.
25. Three choices: “subtle”, “unsubtle”, and “stupid.”
26. Low expectations make for a happy half-orc.
27. Don’t kill your best friends by mistake.
28. Please refraining from taunting the dire bear.
29. Let Ernie offer condolences to the newly bereaved.

When the Black Circle tried to open a planar gate, by sacrificing Grey Wolf, in the Silent Quarter, of the City of Shadows.
Arvis noticed that with the Maze he could see how people's life forces were connected to the planes, and that the Black Circle was draining Grey Wolf's lifeforce out of him.
Arvis figured out the only way to keep Grey Wolf alive was for the party to each give some of their lifeforce to Grey Wolf.
After the write-up one of the players informed us that in this case the "Life Force" sacrifice was experience points, but that post may have been removed for brevity's sake
