Code:
obj                         
    demons
        verb
            Soul_Capture(mob/M in oview(6))
                set category = "Fighting"
                if(M.npc == 1||M == usr||istype(M,/mob/monsters))
                    usr << "You cannot Soul Capture yourself or an NPC!"
                else
                    if(usr.powerlevel >= 1)
                        view(10) << "[usr] captured [M]'s soul!"
                        M._GM_lockmove = 1
                        usr.capturing = 1
                        usr.powerlevel -=1
                        M.icon_state = "captured"
                        usr.contents += new/obj/weaken


    weaken
        verb
            Weaken(mob/M in oview(1))
                set category = "Fighting"
                M.powerlevel -= 50
                M.maxpowerlevel -= M.maxpowerlevel/2
                M.die()
                usr.capturing = 0
                M._GM_lockmove = 0
                view(10) << "[usr] gave back [M]'s soul!"
                M.icon_state = ""
                usr.contents -= new/obj/weaken


Problem description: I want the verb weaken to go away when i use it. can i have the appropriate code for that. right now the verb comes up when i soul capture someone, but it doesn't go away when i weaken().

That's because you are subtracting a new/obj/weaken from the contents list, when that instance is not in the contents list in the first place!

instead of this:

usr.contents -= new/obj/weaken


try this:

del src


This will actually delete the weaken object, removing the verb from the containing player. Seeing as you are adding a new /obj/weaken every time you use the soul capture technique, deleting the weaken object will change nothing, but remove your bug.

Cheers!
