If your main character is a wizard (which yours is not), then he will give you the planar sphere as a stronghold.

But you still need to fight him the first time. Does Edwin have Breach memorized? If so, then you can knock his defenses down, and have the rest of the party just hack him down in melee. Once you are able to damage him he'll go down quick enough in a melee fight. Standard mage tactics work here. Also, while Edwin casts Breach, you cast Haste. This will increase the number of melee attacks against Lavok. The key in any mage fight is to pause the game after they trigger their defenses, and look in the text area to see exactly what spells they have up; this determines what spells you need to get their defenses down.
If you do not have Breach, then this is a much harder fight. You can try Remove Magic or Dispel Magic, but no guarantees that it will take down his defenses. Also, using spells like Melf's Minute Meteors and Magic Missile can make a difference, especially if he does not have Spell Turning or Spell Deflection up at the time.
