Dont often post but there are so many ridiculous clues this week, its becoming a joke.
I am stuck on one

Wilder one in spirit ?E?I?

I am struggling to make sense of a number of answers for example

Vapour starts tear in vein ?T?A?. I have STEAM, but how does it fit in with the rest of the clue.

PAUL

First answer is GENIE - Gene(Wilder) with one (I)in the middle.

Second clue is initial T within SEAM meaning vein, i think

Wilder is Gene (actor) with i in it = genie

Seam = vein - including t(ear) = steam

Wilder one in spirit ?E?I?
Gene(G wilder,the actor) with 1 in = Genie = spirit

Vapour starts tear in vein ?T?A?.
seam = vein (terms used in mining for coal, gold, etc).
starts tear (1st letter of tear) inside seam.
steam=vapour

Thanks everyone. Would really have struggled with Genie, but can see the Steam answer now.
