The whole thing with Elubatel - I think in some ways, it comes easier once you've really tuned into his current and learned to work with him. He bends time and space, they say. His energy sticks around until it's finally discharged and his goal is finally completed - no matter how long that takes. If he bends time and space, then perhaps he's in a sense (literally or metaphorically) folding space to decrease the distance between two points.
I worked some works of similar magick in 2009-10 but via a sort of direct magick. I wanted to finish school and start a new career. It was like becoming a rubberband, being stretched out backwards at first, but then springing ahead... oh, I got what I asked for, alright. To make a long story short, it was the very sort of traumatic unfolding (with multiple life-altering calamities, including illness that got steadily worse the longer I was in school) that people talk about. But I ended up with an AA and all but one of my transfer requirements done (I stopped at that for the time being because my health was deteriorating).
That is kind of how Elubatel tends to work, in my experience/observation. I don't work with him casually. He IS a good last-ditch choice, in my experience - when you need to accomplish a thing but do not know how it will or can unfold. But there is a certain amount of surrender involved. It depends upon how much you need the thing. If you need the thing - BUT it seems fairly easily attainable/a logical next step (such as doing spellwork for a job when you already have potential interviews and leads and are well-qualified in a field with abundant openings) - then there's no need to haul out a nuke when a flyswatter will do the job.
When I was in health care, getting work was ridiculously easy for me, so if I was between jobs, I just did low magick for that.
If I want to explore my broader goals, heck, I do divination, journaling, and vision board/collage work for that.
I work with Elubatel and his energy to have a new career, when I don't have any idea what I'm doing, what I want, etc. and there are obstacles.
He's good for major changes. I don't evoke him for minor changes, or things I can just as easily do for myself.
