I tried rushing by it, but the south corridor is blocked, and now I'm stuck in an endless cycle of attacking, dodging, parrying, and running back and forth, but I can't get back to where I killed the wraith. I'm trapped! Every time I try to get back to the portal, I trip or ram into a wall or something else happens, and I have to start fighting all over again.

Keep at it. First of all, you can never get trapped playing an AGL game--you will never need to start over. If you DO start over, you'll just get stuck at the same spot eventually. :-)

Second, I have played this part of the game twice, and I still have no clue what combination of moves are required to get through. :-) Keep trying all sorts of different things--you'll stumble through eventually. Anything that doesn't kill you may make progress, so if you don't die by doing something, do it.
