Indeed, once you hit Level 15 there are only 3 steps to beating any & all Rakshasa:
1) Cast Animate Dead.
2) Walk away.
3) Giggle.

Don't bother casting spells against them, they're immune to Spell Levels 1 through 6 (I think). What you need are Summons whose attacks strike as magical weapons (and, ideally, have a high Magic Resistance), and the only ones that spring to mind are the various Elementals, who take a long time for Wizards to summon. So you have the option of finding the Rakshasa, calling for help, and promptly dying, or breaking roleplay and raising your Summon before you have any reason to do so.

Alternatively, you can go nuts with Melf's Minute Meteors.
