Well in getting ready to fight Maat I will want to be leveling elemental magic soon. However I'm confused as to whether I can level my skill up as effectively on level 1 mob, as a level 50 one. I don't beleive that to be the case though. I'm pretty sure I'll need to fight mobs in correlation to my skill level. So I am requesting, if that be the case, a chart on where to level elemental magic on what mobs. So feel free to help me out.

RDM Maat fight 4tw!

just go nuke steelshells or something since your magic can't really miss, not sure if this is the fastest way but should work.
 
torque, i lvld my Ele magic and dark magic at the same time at top floor of Castle O. -- a little forewarning though, if your medium/low on MP and you lose control of the fight momentarily, it can be disasterous. careful of the NIN... those RA screw up casting ALOT...

Try to camp inside or at the bronze door.
 
join a skillup pt and start casting stone.
 
You can't skill up past level 5 or so elemental magic on a level 1 mob. As you get closer to the cap, you need to fight higher level mobs, and the last few levels you will need to be nuking Even Match or higher mobs. Like someone else said, join a steelshell party and spam stone.
 
What I do for all skills is use the online skill calculator to calculate what level my current skill is in proportion to the level of (say) my BLM.

http://www.ausystem.org/~aushacho/gbox/ff/skill-e.html

For instance, I'm 222 Staff Skill. At 75, I have a cap of 240. But I'm not worried about the cap really. I'm worried about what's going to give me skill ups.

I do some modifications on my level in the calculator and find out that at 70 I cap at 222. (Actually, I cap at 223 at 70) so I need to fight monsters that are level 70 and above to get the skill ups I want. 70 Monsters will carry me to 223. 71 -> 226, and so on, and so forth.

I then take my target level (70 or above) and compare it to a listing of available monsters that are level 70 and above. I normally reference Alla.

The other day Stouter and I were farming eyes in Den of Rancor. Milloneyes are level 73-76 so they were giving me skill ups. A few moments later we went to SSG and hunted Mindgazers. These monsters are 66-72. Unfortunately, we were only fighting the really easy ones and I got no skill ups because they were all below level 70.

A bit long winded, but that's how I operate in terms of skilling up.

For elemental magic, I did that in PT's. But I'm also a BLM so it comes a bit more naturally to me than RDM. Enfeebling however, I am not 100% capped (though close) and I go put a lone Steelshell asleep in the Tree.
