One in Germany, say, raised spirit (5)
I believe the answer is:
genie
'spirit' is the definition.
(I know that genie is a type of spirit)
'one in germany say raised' is the wordplay.
'one in germany' becomes 'ein' ('one' in German).
'say' becomes 'eg' (both can mean for example).
'raised' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (going up in a down clue).
'ein'+'eg'='eineg'
'eineg' in reverse letter order is 'GENIE'.
(Other definitions for genie that I've seen before include "He came from Aladdin's lamp" , "One in Aladdin's lamp" , "Magical being who carries out a person's wishes" , "means of wishfulfilment" , "Goblin as found in Aladdin's lamp" .)
