Spell Immunity can only protect the caster, and Korgan definitely cannot cast it. You must be referring to his Enrage ability. (Note: A Berserker's Rage will grant temporary immunity to Imprisonment, while a Barbarian's will not.)

Butterfingers, I may be wrong on this (as I've never used a Protection from Magic scroll), but it's been my understanding that to use a PfM scroll on Kangaxx's first form (his Lich form) is to waste it. True, he cannot cast any of his spells at you through the globe of Anti-Magic, but once you "kill" his Lich form, it is removed and replaced with the Demi-Lich form--which is *NOT* under a Protection from Magic spell, and thus can spit Imprisonments to his heart's content. To block the Imprisonments, you must use the Scroll on the Demi-Lich form.

I just wacked Kangaxx a few hours ago, myself. Rather easy, although we were in Chapter 6. My Spell Immunity front-liners were Melodia (Bard) with the Dragon's Breath, Jan with Cutthroat, and Nalia with Boneblade. Over in the corner were Anomen with the Sling of Everard, Minsc with the Gesen Bow, another Minsc (Vhailor's Helm) with another Gesen Bow, and Jaheira with the Cloak of the Stars. Who needs Protection scrolls or the MoD+2?

[ADD:] The Ring of the Ram is indeed very useful, but I ignored it for this fight, which was a good thing: I discovered a very handy tactic for the Ring against the Twisted Rune, which we took out directly after Kangaxx.
