==Abilities and Powers==
Eric has a power set identical to his mother and older sister - flight, the ability to project hard light blasts, and create forcefields around himself <ref name="7.9">[[Buzz 7.9]]</ref> Though his talents primarily lay in his ability to create forcefields, with his other two powers being relatively weak, e.g. his flight speed was the slowest in the family. However his range was still decent.<ref name="8.3"/><ref name="Wog1">[http://worm.wikia.com/wiki/Shielder?direction=prev&oldid=5429 Edit by Wildbow] to [[Shielder]]<br/>Not on the [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/37804044/ list of retracted edits].</ref><ref name="7.7">“We had to match speed to Eric, and he was the slowest." - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/06/12/torch-7-7/ excerpt] from [[Torch 7.7]]</ref><ref>My cousin Eric had had the range but his beams were weak.

His signature shields were a bright blue.<ref name="7.9"/>

He has shown the ability to shape his forcefields at will and fix their position in midair without any grounding. In addition, his forcefields were strong enough to withstand the full force of one of Leviathan's tidal waves though the effort drained and left him weak. Afterward, he was barely able to fly and create forcefields, his reserves exhausted.<ref name="8.3">[[Extermination 8.3]]</ref>
