Code:
mob
    Mod
        verb
            Conjure()
                var/obj/a = input("What would you like to conjure?","GM") in list("Food","Water","potions")
                if("[a]")
                    new a(usr)
                    usr << "You conjure a [a]"

And the error is...?

If("[a]") will always be true.

You're getting switch() if()s mixed up with normal if()s.

Normal use of an if:

    if(a=="Food")
         new/obj/food(usr)


Normal use of a switch() if():

    switch(a)
        if("Food")
            new/obj/food(usr)

Please read and re-read your code before posting, because I know you're smart enough to catch this. :O

<code> a = "text string" new a(usr)</code>

You're trying to use a text string with new()... a normal text string at that (technically using a text string is valid there, but of a type path such as "/mob").
