        Fireball
            icon_state = "Fire Ball"
            Bump(/mob/Characters/)
                usr.HP -= 25
                del src
            var
                Mdir = NORTH
            New()
                Move(NORTH,1)
                Move(NORTH,1)
                Move(NORTH,1)
                Move(NORTH,1)
                Move(NORTH,1)
                Move(NORTH,1)
                Move(NORTH,1)

        set category = "Magic"
        if(usr.Mana >= 0)
            new /obj/Spell_Items/Fireball(usr.loc,Mdir = usr.dir)
            usr.Mana -= 1

Uh how about you just use walk() for moving it, and have it walk in the usr's direction. Look up walk().

I noticed this line:

new /obj/Spell_Items/Fireball(usr.loc,Mdir = usr.dir)


Thats obviously causing the problem, though the problem is with your New() proc there.

Mdir has to be defined in the brackets of New(), not as an actual variable, for your current setup to work. What Pyro said about Walk() as well.
