Here is the first move script.

01local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02 
03local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
04 
05local debounce = false
06script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
07    if Character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored == false then
08        if debounce == false then
09 
10            debounce = true
11 
12            if Player.leaderstats.Nature.Value == "Fire" then
13                game.ReplicatedStorage.FireWall:FireServer()
14            elseif Player.leaderstats.Nature.Value == "Grass" then
15                game.ReplicatedStorage.GWall2:FireServer()
16            elseif Player.leaderstats.Nature.Value == "Water" then
17                game.ReplicatedStorage.WaWalk2:FireServer()
18        wait(9)
19                debounce = false
20            end
21            end
22    end
23end)

Even after waiting for the 9 seconds, I cant use the move or any other moves from this script.

Here is the second script

01local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02 
03local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
04 
05local debounce = false
06script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
07        if Character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored == false then
08            if not debounce then
09 
10                debounce = true
11 
12                    if Player.leaderstats.Nature.Value == "Fire" then
13                        game.ReplicatedStorage.ShootFireBall:FireServer()
14                    elseif Player.leaderstats.Nature.Value == "Grass" then
15                        game.ReplicatedStorage.ShootGrassBall:FireServer()
16                    elseif Player.leaderstats.Nature.Value == "Water" then
17                        game.ReplicatedStorage.ShootWaterBall:FireServer()
18                wait(3)
19                debounce = false
20            end
21            end
22        end
23end)

I dont know why, but its the same thing with this script. After using this move, the cooldown timer never goes back to false.

i've been having the same problem to, i think its just roblox. After I wait the timer the rest of the code breaks, i have had to make whole timers to fix this such as below. Hopefully ROBLOX fixes this. The timer is just a demonstration of what i've had to do!

01local Timer = {}
02Timer.__index = Timer
03 
04function Timer.new()
05    local self = setmetatable({}, Timer)
06 
07    self._finishedEvent = Instance.new("BindableEvent")
08    self.finished = self._finishedEvent.Event
09 
10    self._running = false
11    self._startTime = nil
12    self._duration = nil
13 
14    return self
15end
16 
17function Timer:start(duration)
18    if not self._running then
19        local timerThread = coroutine.wrap(function()
20            self._running = true
21            self._duration = duration
22            self._startTime = tick()
23            while self._running and tick() - self._startTime < duration do
24                wait()
25            end
26            local completed = self._running
27            self._running = false
28            self._startTime = nil
29            self._duration = nil
30            self._finishedEvent:Fire(completed)
31        end)
32        timerThread()
33    else
34        warn("Warning: timer could not start again as it is already running.")
35    end
36end
37 
38function Timer:getTimeLeft()
39    if self._running then
40        local now = tick()
41        local timeLeft = self._startTime + self._duration - now
42        if timeLeft < 0 then
43            timeLeft = 0
44        end
45        return timeLeft
46    else
47        warn("Warning: could not get remaining time, timer is not running.")
48    end
49end
50 
51function Timer:isRunning()
52    return self._running
53end
54 
55function Timer:stop()
56    self._running = false
57end
58 
59return Timer

Never Mind, I actually just figured this out on my own.

01local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02 
03local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
04 
05local debounce = false
06script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
07        if Character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored == false then
08            if not debounce then
09 
10                debounce = true
11 
12                    if Player.leaderstats.Nature.Value == "Fire" then
13                game.ReplicatedStorage.ShootFireBall:FireServer()
14                    elseif Player.leaderstats.Nature.Value == "Grass" then
15            game.ReplicatedStorage.ShootGrassBall:FireServer()
16                    elseif Player.leaderstats.Nature.Value == "Water" then
17                game.ReplicatedStorage.ShootWaterBall:FireServer()
18                end
19        wait(3)
20        debounce = false
21        end
22        end
23end)
