I think that when Hawkins uses his power he has to sap his enviroment.
For instance, saving that cat and such might have been responsible for his mother's slow agonizing death. I think in the scene where he sits in the floor and cries in his mother's room they were trying to show the guilt he must have felt for being responsible for the illness and the helplessness of not being allowed to save her.
Same way with the girl. In order to help her he had to draw on the "energy" of the enviroment that's why it seemed to wilt away....
Of course, I could be completely wrong and have no friggin' clue what I'm talking about, so take that with whatever sense your momma gave you

Thank you, guthmund.
That gives me a whole new way to look at it.
It's better than the reason I thought of, imo.
I thought maybe the writers were trying to throw us a curve in to making us get to like Ben Hawkins then...wham! He's the bad guy.
I like your version better, guthmund.
