Damon has the ability to turn into a krähe oder a wolf. He most frequently chooses his krähe form, and especially likes to use this form to spy on people.

Damon can control the weather, as he does Von keeping it cloudy for much of his stay in Fell's Church, since cloudy weather is easier on sensitive vampire eyes. Damon can also manipulate fog both indoors and out, as he creates a fog in the school gym when first appearing to Elena.

Damon has the usual vampire mind manipulation Powers. He can subtly manipulate humans into doing his bidding and he can telepathically communicate with other vampires. Damon also has the equally standard enhanced strength, stamina, dexterity and heightened senses that all Vampire have.
