(See the best response by Pirion.)
Code:
mob/proc/Execution(path,radius)
    for(var/turf/T in orange(radius,src))
        new path(T)
    for(var/mob/M in orange(radius,src))
        src.FireAoE_Damage(M,radius)


mob/proc/FireAoE_Damage(mob/M,radius)
    var/dmg = round(src.Willpower * 3) + round(src.Strength * 2.7)
    M.Health -= dmg
    M.Death_Check()


Problem description:Created this from learning from a resource about AoE's, although it's not exactly what I was looking to learn. I'm trying to figure out how to make this AoE do damage multiple times while in the radius. (Say if you stand in the radius for 3 seconds, you'll take the damage each second, 3 times in total). I realize it isn't that difficult, but I just can't come across how to do it. Any suggestions?

You need to use a while loop.

mob/proc/Execution(path,radius)
    var
        ticks = 10 //this is how long to sleep
        loops = 3  //this is how many times to loop
    for(var/turf/T in orange(radius,src))
        new path(T)
    while(!loops--) //while there is loop work to do
        for(var/mob/M in orange(radius,src))
            src.FireAoE_Damage(M,radius)
        sleep(10) //sleep 10 ticks, or 1 second

Tried this. It now damages me once, but no one around me.

Sorry, the ! mark is incorrect - remove this and you should be good.
