So what is your problem? Are you not able to select elemental trait because it is grayed out?

As a general advice, you can only have 1 trait on piece of gear of any given category (triangle, square, 8-shaped green one, etc) other than circle ones. It is a weird system system but I assume it should ensure that you do not put too many traits affecting your character's performance on single piece of gear.

Also, not every piece of gear can have every possible traits. I'm not sure if this is true for weapons but armor pieces have different options for sure. I could freely move the one elemental damage trait I found to various weapons. I used it on straight swords, spears and dual swords just fine.

Weapon enchants, I have lightning one, are from Red Triangle category. This means if you already have one trait from this category on a weapon, you wont be able to add another one there, such as elemental buff. You have to either remove it from weapon first and then add elemental enchant. If red triangle enchant is locked, ie. you can not remove it via embedment, you need to find new weapon. Weapons or armor pieces from sets do not have locked traits but normal gear does have 1 locked trait on it, which can not be modified.

I have no locked traits just lightning attack power do I need to remove that

It all depends on what symbol is in front of the trait. If it is Red Triangle than you must remove it before being able to put any other trait on to a weapon from the same category. If it is just White Circle or any other symbol, it should not impact your ability to put lightning enchant on it.

Only other thing that comes to my mind is that you must have the enchant available, ie. these types of enchants come from special essence that is used to enchant it to a weapon. You can always extract it from the weapon again and use it elsewhere.

If you have used your lightning enchant on other weapon, you will see it as a grayed option in the embedment selection screen but you will not be able to use it. There should be number in top right corner of the enchant name indicating how many uses you have available.
