Spell Immunity will protect you from Cloudkill and Death Fog too, the school to choose is Evocation.

Stoneskin will protect you from backstabs too.

The following will deal with, "How does a solo Sorcerer deal with Demi-Liches?"

As we all know, Demi-Liches are largely immuned to spells and Sorcerers have lousy THACO. All is not lost however, the solo Sorcerer still has a few tricks up his/her sleeves.

To deal with the never-ending barrage of Imprisonments, cast Spell Immunity and choose the school of Abjuration. This will absorb all the Imprisonments for the duration of the spell. If you are willing to spend some money, then buy a scroll of Protection from Undead. This will let the Demi-Lich ignore you for 10 turns( 10 minutes). Be warned though, in the case of Kangaxx, only use the scroll when he has transformed into a Demi-Lich. If you use it beforehand, you will risk making him stuck at near-death status. Now that we have settled the defensive measures, we move on to the attack plans.

Time Stop + Melf's Minute Meteors:

Very simple, cast Time Stop and repeatedly hurl Melf's Minute Meteors at the Demi-Lich. Since you are in a Time Stop, all the MMM becomes automatic hits. If the first volley does not kill the Demi-Lich, rinse and repeat. You can also use a Ring of the Ram to hasten the process.

Dragon's Breath or Comet:

Cast once, Demi-Lich dies. Very simple.
