Upped image is broken. Does the spell keep the same target? What if that target is dead? This looks very much like an Izzet card.
It is the greatest mystery of all...

Obvious title still needs to be fixed.  Can't help but feel this was done as a pure Aether idea before.

How about flying 6 of this this and then using firebolt, wich is also in the same element?
I think it may be better to have a limitation for that, maybe something like opponent's spells or not "growing" spells, like bolts;lances etc.etc.

Sorry, everything is now fixed.

Upped image is broken. Does the spell keep the same target? What if that target is dead? This looks very much like an Izzet card.

Target is chosen again.

How about flying 6 of this this and then using firebolt, wich is also in the same element?

It is still costly.  And a lot of cards to go with that combo.

But can easily be done as MonoFire.

Obvious title still needs to be fixed.  Can't help but feel this was done as a pure Aether idea before.
Spell copying tends to jump around to various elements - I've also seen  :rainbow and :water takes on the idea IIRC. Most spell copiers however tend to be prone to being a) copied themselves or b) Could use one spell over and and over which makes them very exploitable if done wrong.

For the card itself:
Great border design, ET. :) I think the 'main art' on the card now is good enough to be the card idea's art.  I also like the thematic cross between :fire and :aether - an aggressive Fire Elemental is likely 'trigger happy' to fire off more bolts and rage potions, while a wise Aether Elemental would be more focused on the actual duplication of the spell.

While the card does seem a little overpriced in terms of Quantua/Damage I think it is necessary to balance out the fact that this can copy spells (which can be very powerful in the right decks.) It looks pretty foolproof too, with the 'this turn' clause getting rid of potential OP combos with cards like Miracle and dealing with the whole 'spell on a stick' issue most spell copiers face.
