trying to figure out the summoning skills and how to train it
I SUMMON IMPED to where the excess energy was gone and thought i was done, a few hours later I tried to ALIGN FIRE again and found I was already there and had a great excess of energy built up.
is this bad? it sounds bad! how do I stop building up the energy?

Finishing your meditation, you feel that you still have a great excess of energy to purge.

It is not bad. It just means you capped the amount of Elemental Charge you can hold. Like MKIBBE said, it is likely from casting Fire-aligned spells. I will guess you were hunting with Fire Shard or Fire Ball, as that is rather typical.

Not only is it not bad, its actually really good, because to train Summoning while in combat you will need to attempt to maintain charge. Typically someone will cap their charge with Summon Admit, enter combat, and then utilize a pathway aligned to the same Element as the spells you're casting in combat. (Fire being the most common for training TM.) This allows you to keep up the Pathway as long as possible in attempts to mind lock Summoning.

You can also train the Summoning skill buy summoning, turning, or shaping Elemental Weapons.

See https://elanthipedia.play.net/Elemental_weapon for more information on that system.
