I.M.E. stands for Individual Magical Effect. It was first described in The Spear update by Complains as what some call ... your "aura" or "the color of your soul" or whatever. Basically, everyone has their own inner light. As you gain more power, your IME can evolve. [1] Thuntonian magic permeates pretty much the entire realm. Although this magic is in abundance, great care and skill is needed to access it before it can be converted to energy and burned up to power spells or magic items.
