You have what you need for the wraith. Try different combinations of moves when attacking. After you hit it once a certain way, you'll have it expecting more of the same, so toss him a change-up with a slightly different pattern of attack.

Also about wraiths: Tolkien can hardly lay creative claim to them. The word "wraith" traces back at least as far as 1513 in Scottish. I think I read somewhere else (on Fun With Words, maybe?) that it's related to one or more of "wreath", "writhe", "wroth", and "wrath", but the site I linked to doesn't seem to support that.
