That one almost always takes a few tries. Magic is tricky, if it were easy to cast spells we'd all be doing it!
The easiest way to do it is not to think about it too much - just click and slash in a rough < shape lots of times until eventually it works. (Since that's probably what the character would do!)
However, if you're having trouble, try it like this -
Start by holding your mouse in the top-center of the screen.
Click and drag diagonally, trying to move the same amount 'over' as you do 'down'. When you're about halfway down, change directions and move back. The change-direction point is NOT all the way over to the left edge of the screen.
I can make a screenshot if that still doesn't help.
