So what this script does is, create the part, increase it's size then launch it, that happens, and damage any humanoids it touches, but it does not damage humanoids i made some dummy npc's and they take no damage ;-;(local script btw)

01function onKeyDown(key)
02    local Key = key:lower()
03    if key == "f" then
04 
05--      local animationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(MagicAnim) -- This is here because i have not made an anim for this yet, but i doubt that matters ;-;
06--      animationTrack:Play()
07        game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
08        sound:Play()
09        local Ball = Instance.new('Part')
10        Ball.Shape = 'Ball'
11        Ball.Size = Vector3.new(2,2,2)
12        Ball.Material = 'Neon'
13        Ball.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Really red')
14        Ball.Name = 'FireBallOf'..Player.Name
15        Ball.Parent = game.Workspace
16        Ball.CFrame = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Torso.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-2)
17        Ball.CanCollide = false
18        Ball.Anchored = true
19        local start = Ball.Size
20        local finish = Ball.Size * Vector3.new(5,5,5)
21        local FireParticle = Instance.new('ParticleEmitter',Ball)
22        FireParticle.Texture = 'http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=300899516'
23        local Part = Ball -- this is the Part we will move
24        local newPos = (game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Torso.CFrame *               CFrame.new(0,0,-550)).p -- the position the Part will go to
25        local Time = 2 -- the time that the script will take to move the part
26        local Increment = 5 -- the Part will move 0.5 studs each time it moves
27        local balldebounce = false
28 
29        local Diff = newPos - Part.Position -- the difference between the two positions
30        local Mag = Diff.magnitude -- the distance between the two parts
31        local Direction = CFrame.new(Part.Position, newPos).lookVector
32        for progress = 0, 1, 0.03 do
33             Ball.Size = start:lerp(finish, progress)
34             wait()
35        end
36 
37        Ball.Touched:connect(function(part)
38        if Part.Parent ~= nil then--Keep Parentless blocks from breaking it. 
39                if balldebounce == false and Part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil then
40                balldebounce = true
41                Part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid"):TakeDamage(40) 
42                wait(1)--Wait two seconds before the brick can hurt someone. 
43                balldebounce = false
44                end
45            end
46        end)        
47 
48 
49        for n = 0, Mag, Increment do
50        Part.CFrame = Part.CFrame + (Direction * Increment)
51        wait()
52            end
53 
54 
55        game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16         
56    end

Your code

Friaza's tutorial is very useful to get someone use to KeyDown() functions, and the code you have is ALMOST perfect, however, some parts of your code aren't exactly perfect. For the code to work, you need two scripts: a local script and a regular script. Name the local script 'Fireball' and name the script 'Firedamage' (Have Firedamage INSIDE Fireball, and have the code be a child of StarterPack). Now, in the Firedamage code, put this edited code into it (I'll explain the code to the best of my ability...)

Firedamage Code

01function onDamage(Part)--function to cause damage to those hit with fireball
02 
03    if Part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~=nil and Part.Parent.Name ~= "script.Parent.Name" then--If the thing is humanoid then
04 
05        script.Disabled = true
06 
07        local f = Instance.new('Fire', Part)
08 
09        for i = 1,25 do--Does damage all the way to 25
10 
11            f.Size = f.Size +0.25--
12 
13            Part.Parent.Humanoid.Health = Part.Parent.Humanoid.Health -1--Declines health -1
14 
15        wait (0.05)
16 
17        end--end the first argument of code chunk
18 
19        f:remove()
20 
21        Part.Parent.Humanoid.PlatformStand = true
22 
23        script.Parent:remove()--Removes the action
24 
25    end--end the second argument of code chunk
26 
27end--end the thrid argument of code chunk
28 
29script.Parent.Touched:connect(onDamage)

Now, in the Fireball code, you need to put this edited code into it (again, I'll explain to the best of my ability...)

Fireball code

01--Variables
02Player = script.Parent.Parent--To get to Player
03 
04mouse = Player:GetMouse()--Gets the mouse function
05 
06--function
07 
08function onKeyDown(key)--The function
09 
10    local Key = key:lower()--Key pressed sequence
11 
12    if key =='z' then--The player hits 'z'
13 
14        local x = Instance.new('Part', workspace)--Creates a new part
15 
16        x.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red")--Fire is red...
17 
18        x.Size = Vector3.new(10, 10, 10)--Makes the fire ball look like an actuall fire ball
19 
20        x.TopSurface = 'Smooth'--Removes the studs to make it look more realistic
21 
22        x.BottomSurface = 'Smooth'--Removes the studs to make it look more realistic
23 
24        x.Shape = 'Ball'--It is a fire ball...
25 
26        x.Name = Player.Name--this makes it so that way the fireball doesn't hurt the player using it
27 
28        x.CanCollide = false
29 
30        x.Transparency = 0.7--Make it look more realistic
31 
32        local fd = script.Firedamage:Clone()--Clones the fire damage for future use as well
33 
34        fd.Parent = x--makes firedamage apart of the fireball
35 
36        local y = Instance.new('BodyVelocity', x)
37 
38        y.maxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)--Makes the fireball not too huge, but not too small
39 
40        y.velocity = Player.Character.Torso.CFrame.lookVector*80--Allows it to be shot from the Player's torso
41 
42        local f = Instance.new('Fire', x)--Adds fire to the new part
43 
44        f.Size = 15--Fire will be size 15
45 
46        f.Heat = 0--No heat since it'll make fireball look weird
47 
48        x.CFrame = Player.Character.Torso.CFrame*CFrame.new(0, 0, -12)--Allows it to be shot from your character, offically...
49 
50        fd.Disabled = false
51 
52        game.Debris:AddItem(x, 1)--Removes the fire ball all together
53 
54        print ('Fireball successfully worked!')
55 
56    end--end the first argument of code chunk
57 
58end--end the second argument of code chunk
59 
60mouse.KeyDown:connect(onKeyDown)--Repeats function for it to be confirmed to work

In conclusion...

Your code was right, but I have some edits to it to have it cleaner. Let me know if it doesn't work.
