At least on my setup, BG2:EE 2.5.16.6 with Ascension 2.0.9, Implosion is not an evocation spell even though the description says it is. It actually has no spell school and therefore can't be blocked by Spell Immunity. Aside from using a Spell Trap, since there is no save against the Paralyze effect, only something like Free Action can prevent the target from becoming a punching bag for 6 seconds. 100% fire resistance and good saving throws against spells can cut damage in 4, back to 5d10.

I also remember relying on Spell Trap when soloing Demogorgon on original edition because of Implosion, since Spell Immunity didn't work. That means BG2 classic without Ascension also has an Implosion spell with no school.
