Code:
        var/which = input("Which orb shall you fuse with.","Choose your element")in list("Earth","Fire","Wind","Water","Lightning","Grass")
        mob/Elements
        Earth
        if(which == "Earth")
            usr.Element = "Earth"
            usr.icon = 'Earth.dmi'
            usr.icon_state = "earth"
        Fire
        if(which == "Fire")
            usr.Element = "Fire"
            usr.icon = 'Fire.dmi'
            usr.icon_state = "fire"
        Wind
        if(which == "Wind")
            usr.Element = "Wind"
            usr.icon = 'Wind.dmi'
            usr.icon_state = "wind"
        Water
        if(which == "Water")
            usr.Element = "Water"
            usr.icon = 'Water.dmi'
            usr.icon_state = "water"
        Lighnting
        if(which == "Lightning")
            usr.Element = "Lightning"
            usr.icon = 'Lighting.dmi'
            usr.icon_state = "lighting"
        Grass
        if(which == "Grass")
            usr.Element = "Grass"
            usr.icon = 'Grass.dmi'
            usr.icon_state = "grass"
        ..()

First of all, your if's are out of place (unless those are labels)

Also, if this is login code then heres a remade version of it

mob/Login()
  mob/var/which=input("Which orb shall you fuse with?","Choose your element") in list("Earth","Fire","Wind","Water","Lightning","Grass")
  src.icon='Player.dmi' //See footnote 1
  src.icon_state=src.which //See footnote 2
  src.element=src.which
  ..()


Footnote 1:It is easier to put icons of the same nature in a single file or else you will have way too many files

Footnote 2:Put the iconstates in capitals equivilant to the choices to make this line work

Lastly:
Using labels as comments are not all that good so just use the /**/ or // comment sets
Making new child nodes is not allowed in a proc
If you have so many if's then you could use a switch statement to compact the equations


Next time...also post compiler output or runtime output as it will help us because you did not tell me what your problem was
