mob
    var
        Magic = 60
        list/Effects = list() // Contain all the effects in a list.
    verb
        Transform()
            if(!"Drain" in Effects) // If the effect Drain isn't in the Effects list..
                Effects.Add("Drain") // Add it and begin draining magic.
                DrainMagic()
            UserTransform()
    proc
        DrainMagic()
            while("Drain" in Effects)
                Magic--
                sleep(600)
        UserTransform()
            // Transform procedure.

In response to DemonSpree
 
mob/verb/Toggle_Transformation()
    set category = "Transformation"
    if(src.istransed)
        src << "You return to your normal form."
        src.istransed=0
    else
        src << "You transform!!!"
        src.istransed=1
        src.Drain()
        
mob/var/magic=10
mob/var/istransed=0

mob/proc/Drain()
    if(src.istransed)
        src.magic-=5
        src.Drain()

That should work.

Too much spoonfeeding, IMO.
I was mainly showing him bare-bones.

Spoonfeeding xD. Sometimes, it's good. He can learn from it.
