(See the best response by Lummox JR.)
Code:
world
    New()
        var/T
        var/just
        var/dont
        for(T in typesof(/obj/Black_Magic))
            just = "/obj/Black_Magic"
            dont = new just
            T = new T
            if(dont != T)
                BlackMagicList += T

var
    global
        BlackMagicList[0]


Problem description:
No matter what i've tried, like the -= operator or .Remove, will remove "Black Magic" at the end of the list when I go to use my Create() verb.
Anyone know how to remove that?

May be the wrong way to do it, but I got "Black Magic" out of the list by doing:
world
    New()
        var/T
        for(T in typesof(/obj/Black_Magic))
            BlackMagicList += new T
        BlackMagicList.len = (BlackMagicList.len-1)

What you want here is:

for T in (typesof(/obj/Black_Magic) - /obj/Black_Magic))

Oh, you could remove things from the search? Neat, thank you Lummox!
