One easy way would be to use item cooldowns (like how ender pearls have a cooldown in vanilla).

Before launching the fireball, add an "If Player: Item is Not on Cooldown" block and put the rod in the chest. Then, if the item is not on cooldown, launch the fireball and use "Player Action: Set Item Cooldown" to set a cooldown. In the chest, you'll put the rod as well as a number, which is the cooldown measured in ticks. There are 20 ticks in 1 second.
