its especially hard to do it with just a mouse (i dont own a pen tablet)

Re: Wild lightning effect?
If you have Photoshop, some layer effects may help you, look for them in the bottom part of the Layers window, it's an "fx" symbol.
About the shape itself, I'd simply use the lasso tool, first to form general arcs which surround the character and give some direction, and then I'd add some irregularities here and there, and some little sparks. With the adding (shift) and substraction (alt) modes of the lasso it should be fairly simple (you use them by keeping pressed the mentioned keys while using the tool).
