Problem description:

Ok, well I was kinda branching out and trying a new way of creating some things, something that has a bit of player input to it. Anyways, to cut to the chase, if someone could help me find a way to make this work, that would be like, super x.x;

I'm not sure which it is (presumably chidoridamage), but one of them is text and the other is a number. You probably want to do text2num(usr.chidoridamage).

Ok...I figured because it does take it as a Number when the person typed it in, it would stay as a Number...ok I'll try and get back to you, Thank you

To elaborate a little on what Stephen said the reason you're running into this issue is because you're setting chidoridamage to a string instead of a number. Changing 
usr.chidoridamage = "[chakrain]"
to 
usr.chidoridamage = chakrain
will also fix your problem. Enclosing it in double-quotes sets it to a string, even though you use 'as num' for the input.
