This is a little embarassing, as I'm a fairly new player returning to my account. I plan to be a cleric, but I also went to the magic school to learn elemental magic so I can defend myself. However, the teacher never really bothered to tell me exactly how to 'shoot' the elements from a staff or my hands. I tried every button and nothing works. Is the magic class supposed to be melee? Because all my character does is punch everything.

When you successfully charge a bolt, you will consume MP and, after fully charged, the respective bolt should appear floating around your character or your magical weapon of choice (unless you have Mini Effects turned on) and the skill's icon should begin floating over your character's head. Afterwards, attacking an enemy will cause you to expend that bolt, dealing magic damage to that enemy. You should also notice the attacking cursor change from a sword to a magic wand, indicating that your next attack will consume a charged magical attack.
There are other magical spells in the game that follow different mechanics (and require specific magical weapons), but this should be enough to get you started.
As an additional piece of advice, assuming you started in the Cleric talent hang on to your Beginner Healing Wand. Magic Weapon repairs aren't cheap and all Beginner weapons enjoy a 1G repair fee, even at 100% Repair Rate. Just bear in mind that all Beginner weapons cannot receive Special Upgrades.
Yes, it has to be a living creature; props like street lights and the dummies in the Tir Chonaill/Dunbarton schools can only be hit with melee attacks. The brown foxes on the road to Alby Dungeon and the White Spiders in the Tir Chonaill Graveyard are good beginner targets to practice with.
As far as Healing goes, Healing will also work on other players; just note that Healing will typically not heal black (Wound) damage unless with specific titles equipped. You'll want to learn First Aid and use that skill to heal Wound damage. Note that First Aid requires Bandages to use. Also bear in mind that using Healing on yourself will also require and consume Stamina; this will only happen if Healing cast on yourself restores any missing HP.
