- Eye-Color Shifting: Once Ben's powers are in use, his eyes shift to a silver color.
Earth Fairy Abilities[]
- Geokinesis: Ben possesses the ability to manipulate the matter of natural surfaces. He utilized this technique to incapacitate Beatrix, by sinking her feet into the ground, enabling Farah Dowling to place the runic limiters on her.
- Wood Manipulation: Ben has displayed the ability to manipulate wood. In A Fanatic Heart, he is shown sealing the entrance of the Winx Suite, by merging the two doors together and sealing the crack between them. This prevented the residents of the suite to leave as well as any to enter.
