I was okay with the gifted vampires powers. But I never understood Benjamin's powers. If he could truly manipulate and control elements he would be the most powerful vampire of all...being able to manipulate nature itself. Benjamin could have easily torched the Volturi...but he never did this. Setting them aflame would be the best way to kill them since vampires are so danged flammable due to their venom. I just never understood why Benjamin didn't save the day against the Volturi. AND I thought it was kinda silly watching Benjamin set his fingers aflame in the movie. He should have lit up like a torch when he pulled that.
