A power can be mental or physical depending on what exactly the person's strongest trait was or their own special ability as a human. Benjamin's ability is physical because he could manipulate fire like a fire-breather when he was a human, that was the trait he brought over into his new vampire life. I'm so sick of everyone bashing Benjamin because his power is physical, James had a physical ability because it wasn't blocked by Bella's shield, Siobhan's ability isn't mental either and niether is Maggie's. Stop getting your knickers in knots over that trifling issue
