Honestly, the best items I've found for beating the Sorceress are the Plot Hole and the Cast. Both have a pretty high success rate against the Naughty One, and the former has a nice side effect of occasionally confusing her to the point where she takes no action that turn. I just finished battling her a moment ago, and hit the second form with five or six in a row.

In a nutshell, I use mostly standard attacks against the first form, letting my Acid-Squirting Flower and Pickle do the heavy work of damaging; once I'm down 40 or 50 HP from my max, I start using Casts every turn to get back up to full strength. This lets me go into the second form with 75-100% of my HP intact, and then I bomb her with Plot Holes or whatever else is handy when I run out.

Oh, and Ronin is only _600_ turns now. Yow.
