ok i get a runtime error that says the following

runtime error: Cannot read null.overlays
proc name: Iron Reaver Soul Stealer (/mob/Skill/verb/Iron_Reaver_Soul_Stealer)
  source file: Skills.dm,15
  usr: Sesshomaru XX (/mob/player)
  src: Sesshomaru XX (/mob/player)
  call stack:<dm>
 everytime i try to use iron reaver soul stealer

so i typed in ctrl+g and typed in 15 to go to the problem under skills and this is the line

<dm>M.overlays -= 'Etc.dmi'<dm>

In response to Sesshomaru XX
A non-null value. Preferably an atom. Preferably, the mob in question.
Chances are, you're using a ripped source (or otherwise don't know how to program) and you may not even need the M variable, and need to use src or usr instead, anyway. But of course, we can only guess until you, well, you know, post the code that's having the problems.
