Code:
mob/powers/verb/Make_Charge(mob/M in oview(1))
   if(M.race == "Witch") if(usr.race == "Whitelighter") M.whitelighter = "[usr.name]"
   if(M.race == "Witch") if(usr.race == "Half Whitelighter") M.whitelighter = "[usr.name]"
   if(M.race == "Witch") if(usr.race == "Half Whitelighter") usr.charge="[M.name]"
   if(M.race == "Witch") if(usr.race == "Whitelighter") usr.charge="[M.name]"


What I Need:Ok i need if the charge ever says the whitelighter's name in any text like say or world say the whitelighter will automatically teleport to the charge's location

The code for picking a random whitelighter each time:
mob/var/list/wlighter = list()
mob/var/chosen_whitelighter = ""
mob/powers
    verb
        Call_WhiteLighter()
            set category = "Commands"
            for(var/mob/M in world)
                if(M.race == "Whitelighter"||M.race == "Half Whitelighter")
                    wlighter.Add(M)
            for(var/mob/B in wlighter)
                chosen_whitelighter = Pick(B)
                if(B == chosen_whitelighter)
                    B.loc = locate(usr.x,usr.y-1,usr.z)
                    B << "You've been chosen to help this witch out."
                    usr << "The whitelighter that has come is [B.name]"


I can't figure out how to do the way you're talking about because the whitelighter the witch might have might not be online at the time, which could cause runtime errors... But I hope this random call White Lighter code works for you if you can't get any other help.

this should handle it all

mob/var/whitelighter
mob/var/charge
mob/powers
    verb
        Say(msg as text)
            if(findtext(msg,"[whitelighter]")
                src.Call_Whiteligher()
            oview()<<"[src]:[msg]"
                
mob
    proc
        Call_Whitelighter()
            var/N = locate("[whitelighter]") in world
            if(N)
                N.loc = locate(src.x,src.y-1,src.z)
mob/powers/verb/Make_Charge(mob/M in oview(1))
    if(M.race == "Witch") 
        if(usr.race == "Whitelighter"||usr.race == "Half Whitelighter")
            M.whitelighter = "[usr.name]"
            usr.charge="[M.name]"

...wow. The logic in that code is mind-bogglingly bad. Simplify it:
mob/powers/verb/Make_Charge(mob/m in oview(1))
    if(m.race == "Witch")
        if(race == "Whitelighter" || race == "Half Whitelighter")
            m.whitelighter = name
            charge = m.name
