Using the colon operator *:* is eeeeevil! Especially the way you're using it.

As for your actual problem; in your case, you're confusing src with M without even realising it.

I'd recommend that you make a new proc along the lines of
the following:

//notice the difference: 'mob/M' instead of 'M as mob' allows you to use . instead of :
mob/verb/Attack(mob/M in oview()) 
  icon_state = "Attack"
  sleep(5) //0.5 seconds -- five seconds is a long time, you know
  var/damage = usr.level
  if(M.blocking)
    damage /= 2
  M.HP -= damage


(And this code will definitely not work in its current format. Any errors you get are up to you to fix.)
