Code:
obj
    ki_blast
        icon = 'Ammo.dmi'
        icon_state = "KI Blast"
        layer = MOB_LAYER + 9
        density = 1
        Bump(mob/M)
            if(istype(M,/mob/characters)||istype(M,/mob/monsters)||istype(M,/mob/multiform))
                flick('Explosion.dmi',M)
                del(src)
                var/dmg = usr.str - M.powerlevel
                M.powerlevel -= dmg
                usr<<"<font color= Red>You did <b>[dmg]</b> damage to [M]"
                if(M.powerlevel <= 0)
                    M.Die()
                    usr.LevelUp()
                    usr.Die()
            del(src)

var/dmg = usr.str - M.powerlevel

var/dmg = M.powerlevel - usr.str

The problem is that you are pulling usr, src, and M out of your ass.

When you use the var, make a var called owner, than make it so that the kiball's owner = the person who used the var. Then do the ownervariable.str instead of usr.

That's completely and utterly wrong. It's quite obvious that the intent of this line is to base dmg on the bumper's str var, and the bumpee's powerlevel. M is the bumpee, so swapping M and usr will not fix this. The real problem (or part of it) is that usr is not valid here.

Offering a suggestion at random will not help anyone. You didn't look at this code or even try to understand what it's doing, so you're in no position to help debug it. It's great that you want to help, but please don't just post stuff out of the blue that isn't helpful.
