Code:
mob/proc/lifekise()
    if(src.life<=reqlife){src<<"You cannot do this";return}
    src.life-=reqlife
    src<<"Successful"
obj/attack/var/reqlife

obj/attack
    reqlife=3
    verb/Attack
        set name="ATTACK!"
        usr.lifekise()

What's the point of having the reqlife a blank var why not just have it = 3. also shouldnt it be mob/attack? just wondering.

You're calling a mob's proc and trying to access an attack objects reqlife var therein without having a reference to that object.

Instead, you could try passing a reference to the attack object into lifekise, like so...

mob/proc/lifekise(obj/attack/A)
    if(src.life<=A.reqlife){src<<"You cannot do this";return}
    src.life-=A.reqlife
    src<<"Successful"


Also, the following line isn't needed.
obj/attack/var/reqlife


Instead, just declare reqlife a variable in the latter of the attack object definition's. You'll also notice that I passed in the object reference to lifekise() and added the set src = usr.contents line, which if my memory serves me right, should give the player the verb just so long as he has the attack object in his contents.

obj/attack
    var/reqlife=3
    verb/Attack
        set src = usr.contents
        set name="ATTACK!"
        usr.lifekise(src)
