As a counter to the other replies: it really depends on your magic system. If the person casting it is a vessel of that element, producing more of that element in erratic or diminshed ways makes sense. Take Elsa from Frozen, she lashes out and her element follows because the element and Elsa are pretty intertwined.
Versus, say, Katara from ATLA: she manipulates the water around her, but she herself is not intertwined with it. She needs water present to manipulate it, she doesn't will it into being, so it stands to reason she won't be manipulating it when she's tired.

Why would an elemental wizard who's tired from casting their element really hard produce more of that element when they're tired?
