Shouldn't it be:

mob/verb/Fusion(mob/M as mob)
var/icon/I = new(src.icon)
I.Blend(M.icon,function=ICON_ADD)
src.icon = I

src's icon SHOULD have changed. It should look increadibly stupid and ugly :), but it should have changed.

My guy fused with a red square and he was a yellow circle he was still a yellow circle after the merge

Edit: I found a runtime error:
runtime error: bad arg name 'function'
proc name: Blend (/icon/proc/Blend)
usr: Koolguy900095 (/mob/player)
src: /icon (/icon)
call stack:
/icon (/icon): Blend('Yeah.dmi', null)
Koolguy900095 (/mob/player): Fuse(Criolo (/mob/Criolo))

Try this then:
mob/verb/Fusion(mob/M as mob)
        var/icon/I = icon(src.icon)
        I.Blend(M.icon)
        src.icon = I

Gah why isnt it working for me!? :( I've tried over and over...The icon still stays a yellow circle...
Here is the EXACT coding copied and pasted right here:
                        if(random == 1)
                            newname = "[copytext(src.name,1,length(src.name)/2+1)+copytext(M.name,(length(M.name)/2)+1,length(M.name)+1)]"
                        if(random == 2)
                            newname = "[copytext(M.name,1,length(M.name)/2+1)+copytext(src.name,(length(src.name)/2)+1,length(src.name)+1)]"
                        var/icon/I = icon(src.icon)
                        I.Blend(M.icon)
                        src.icon = I
                        M.icon = null
            //          M.client.eye = src
            //          M.client.perspective = EYE_PERSPECTIVE
                        world << "[src] and [M] merge to make [newname]!"

                        world << "[src] and [M] merge to make [newname]!"

Maybe this will work. The problem may also be the particular icons that you're using. In any case, this is increadibly stupid looking and probably not what you want. :) Try using icon procs like Shift() and the Blend() proc using ICON_OVERLAY.

Perhaps something else that you have is interfering?
