at least we've narrowed down failure to metal + either air or water.

The earth choices seem to make sense for the most part. so the choices should have less wood and more water. since you didn't tie for earth, air must be 4 and so water must also be 4? Unless sea-green is also not earth so you'd only need 3 each.

air: difficulty making decisions, spring, research water: sea-green, ???

loyalty could be water and not wood? the whole go with your gut thing does suit water more because that means you're more comfortable with making decisions on the fly, which fits in with composure and going with the flow?

if water is sea-green and failure is metal + air and difficulty is air your choices: air: difficulty making decisions, failure, spring, research water: sea-green, loyalty??, ???, ???

if water is sea-green, failure is metal + water and difficulty is air air: difficulty, spring, research water: sea-green, failure, loyalty??

for my choices: If failure is metal + water and sea-green potion is water my choices: metal: ask sphinx, knowledge, failure air: knowledge, translucent potion, ??? water: failure, maybe live forever, analyze and find a weakness

I don't know which one would be air. the sphinx answer is already given for air.

if failure is metal + air, and sea-green potion is water metal - ask sphinx, knowledge, failure air: knowledge, translucent potion, failure water: maybe live forever, analyze weakness, ???

water could be ask the sphinx at least?
