You might want to do this:
mob/var/spelltimer = 0 in 0 to 10
mob/var/magicRate = 1 in 1 to 10
mob/New()
     ..()
     while(1)
          sleep(11-magicRate)
          if(spelltimer) spelltimer -= 1
mob/verb/FireBall(var/mob/M as mob in oview(3))
     if(spelltimer) return
     spelltimer = 10
     missile(/obj/fireball,src,M)
     if(!mob.client) return
     M.hp -= rand(20,25)
     deathCheck(M)

This will allow players to flame other mobs. If the mobs are player-controlled, the mobs take damage. The player can only use magic so often, however, because there is a timer. People who have a higher magic rate can cast spells more frequently.

The fist error just is telling you that you don't have an /obj/fireball yet (make sure to give /obj/fireball an icon too, or else the missile won't be too spectacular.) The other error was my fault, as I put mob.client instead of M.client. Swap the two and you should be good to go.
