How did you create this "elemental? Did you evoke a "natural elemental", or create an artificial elemental? Sone entities main appearance is on other planes, and in order to "See" what it looks like would require astral work.. An artificial element, well, you should have had a firm visualization of how it looks and it's purpose before performing the ritual. What was your source for the ritual you performed? did you get it from a book, or create it yourself?

I have a feeling that you were not really prepared for this as a result you can not hold or accept what has happened; the creation of anything reside in the brain if the brain is not fully committed then 'hiccups" are bound to happen. The mind, body & soul must truly believe in the existence of the creation otherwise it will fail. Remember it does not exist until you create it!

The big question is why?
What did you hope to achieve?

i have created a few spirits myself out of light, i have named them and they have taken form i do see them.

On elementals, when you think of it there are many mythological creatures in the universeand it just takes a little know how to define the creatures apperance, its objectives, and its gender and personallity.

I have found hat when you create a spirit that its history begins from its creation, say in the birth of a dragon, it will initally not talk as it young over time it will grow to its true size, it finds spirits that are like it to learn from, it has its own goals and needs to be taught to be understood.
