Code:
magik_shield()
        if("magik shield" in src.ToggledSkills)
            src.ToggledSkills-="magik shield"
            src.CanMove=1
            for(var/obj/SkillSups/BMShield/P in src.Cache)  {src.overlays-=P;del P}
        else
            src.ToggledSkills+="magik shield"
            var/obj/SkillSups/BMShield/P=new()
            //src.dir=get_dir(EAST,src)
            if(src.dir==get_dir(EAST,usr))
                P.pixel_x+=32
                src.CanMove=0
            if(src.dir=="West")
                P.pixel_x-=32
                src.CanMove=0
            if(src.dir=="North")
                P.pixel_y+=32
                src.CanMove=0
            if(src.dir=="South")
                P.pixel_y+=32
                src.CanMove=0
            P.icon_state="magik shield";src.Cache+=P;src.overlays+=P

Hmm, I don't really know why you need to use get_dir at all here.. 
magik_shield()
        if("magik shield" in src.ToggledSkills)
            src.ToggledSkills-="magik shield"
            src.CanMove=1
            for(var/obj/SkillSups/BMShield/P in src.Cache)  {src.overlays-=P;del P}
        else
            src.ToggledSkills+="magik shield"
            var/obj/SkillSups/BMShield/P=new()
            if(src.dir==EAST)
                P.pixel_x= 32
                src.CanMove=0
            if(src.dir==WEST)
                P.pixel_x= -32
                src.CanMove=0
            if(src.dir==NORTH)
                P.pixel_y= 32
                src.CanMove=0
            if(src.dir==SOUTH)
                P.pixel_y= -32
                src.CanMove=0
            P.icon_state="magik shield";src.Cache+=P;src.overlays+=P



dir isn't a string, that might be where you are confused :)
