There is little for Elidibus to add to the form and function of the creation that he would not have already suggested be considered. His task is to share his aether with Emet-Selch so the elder of the two has enough to bring the desired concept into existence and link it to Sheppard.
Well there is the matter of seeking to coax the Fear that empowers his gifts here into something... hmm, harmonious? Useful to an end? But there's really only so much of that he could hope to influence. Particularly with two other patron Fears at play.
Think of it more like purposefully suggesting a way to manifest that the Fear itself would find agreeable as well. Nothing at all sinister here. And certainly not within Elidibus's control as to whether he'd ultimately succeed.
In the end, the arm is certainly not one of flesh and blood. It is definitely metal, with a light tracing lines as if there were some power source deep within. Yet it doesn't seem cold by any means. Nor does it weigh too heavily. Perhaps some of this is because of the presence of sensation that seems communicated as well as Sheppard's other human arm.
Sure, one might notice a difference if one were to focus but it's not extreme.
And it is possible that the weight of the crab arm that was there for months is throwing off estimation of what this new artificial arm should feel like in comparison but....
Metal - and yes touching it with human fingers would definitely indicate it's metal of some kind - shouldn't be this light.
Nor should it illicit a sensation of feeling any fingers Sheppard tries to poke at it, if such is his inclination. But it is light. It feels very nearly natural. And it will provide sensation.
Elidibus is looking at the newly constructed limb as though stepping back to inspect the overall look of a newly finished craft, rather than a fully working appendage literally conjured into existence with a thought. It may also be worth noting that the whole process, from removal of the former limb to conjuration and attachment of the new, may have taken about five minutes, tops.
He nods and there's a moment of satisfaction.
"Given our restrictions, I'm inclined to believe we could not expect a more favorable outcome," he says to Emet-Selch. Almost cheerfully -and really he's pleased enough with the results- Elidibus then asks a question of Sheppard.
"Does aught seem amiss with it?" There's even a tiny smile permitted.
