Here's what I got:

mob/Spell
    verb
        Vado_Calx()
            set category = "Spells"
            if(wandout == 1)
                if(usr.pertr==0)
                    if(confound == 1)
                        usr.random=rand(1,2)
                        if(random == 1)
                            view(usr) << "<font color = teal><b><u>[usr]</b></u><font color = teal>:<i><font color = green> Vado Calx!"
                            new /obj/projectile/Calx(get_step(src, src.dir), src.dir, src, 3)
                        if(random == 2)
                            usr << "You raise your wand, only to find the spell leave your grasp"
                            return
                    else
                        view(usr) << "<font color = teal><b><u>[usr]</b></u><font color = teal>:<i><font color = green> Vado Calx!"
                        new /obj/projectile/Calx(get_step(src, src.dir), src.dir, src, 3)
                else
                    usr<<"You cannot cast spells"
            else
                usr << "You must have your wand out!"

obj/projectile    // Using a projectile subtype so
                  // similar objects like bullets,
                  // arrows, or darts can be added easily.

    Calx
        icon='attacks.dmi'
        icon_state="calx"


    density=1


    New(start_loc, direction, shooter, delay)
        src.shooter=shooter
        if(!Move(start_loc, direction)) del src  // The initial move is here in case someone is on the first tile.
        spawn(delay)
            while(step(src, direction))
                sleep(delay)
            del src

    Bump(atom/A)
        if(ismob(A))
            var/mob/victim=A
            view(A)<<"[shooter] hit [victim]!"
            victim.hp -= 15
        else
            view(A)<<"[shooter]'s spell missed their intended target and hit [A]!"


How can I make it os the object will stop where it is after hitting the victim?

... delete it after it hit something? Duh!
Also, you should use if(prob(50)) instead of defining a variable called 'random' like that.

Yes, I realise that. But I feel more comfortable with rand() since it's a 1-in-2 chance. Plus I've got millions of things like that. And if I delete it, I delete it. It wont stop which is what I want... But thanks, you made me realise somehing.

To stop a moveing obj simply
walk(src,0<dm> with src being what is to be stoped

That does not apply here.

Yea it does, he puts it in the bump proc of his obj, for example
        Bump(A)
            if(ismob(A))
                    view(M) << "[M] was hit by the [src]!!"
                    walk(src,0)

That makes it so if they get bumped it will say they where bumped and stop the object in its tracks

This does not apply here as he is not using walk(). Please do not try to provide advice if you don't know what you're talking about.

Ok then lets see you give some advice on how to stop the thing o.O

The "del src" after the movement loop has to be removed.

Don't worry. Just discovered a DM bug which wont let me put this into use without stuffing up my other spells.

A DM bug? Don't worry. I'm sure it's probably just your code.
