You cannot define a variable with the result of a function outside of an event or function.

The variable "spell" is not defined. Papyrus has no idea what you want done there.

"Else" does not use parameters and is thus throwing off what you want to do with "index"

 

I am going to guess that you want to cycle through the magic effects on a given spell and return a message box if it has the specified magic effect. The following example (using your posted code as a base) shows how to do this with a spell as it is equipped by the player.

 

Please note that the following has not been tested for compilation or function:

ScriptName TestScriptAgain Extends Actor

Keyword Property MagicDamageFire Auto

Event OnObjectEquipped(form akBaseObject, ObjectReference akReference)
  If akBaseObject as Spell ; a spell was equipped
    Spell mySpell = (akBaseObject as Spell) ; assign equipped spell to local variable
    Int MagicFXnum = mySpell.GetNumEffects() ; get number of magic effects
    While MagicFXnum >= 0
      MagicEffect MagicFX = mySpell.GetNthEffectMagicEffect(MagicFXnum) ; get magic effect
      If MagicFX.HasEffectKeyword(MagicDamageFire) ; does magic effect have desired keyword
        ; it does, display message and get out of loop
        MagicFXnum = -1
        Debug.MessageBox("Fire Spell")
      Else
        ; it does not, check next magic effect
        MagicFXnum -= 1
      EndIf
    EndWhile
  EndIf
EndEvent

Thank you! IsharaMeradin.
