Grant asked Garon Whited:

When will we get to see Eric eat other vampires and absorb their powers? I would really like to see him pull out some of the classic vamp powers like turning into mist or shape shifting. And could he at least absorb the powers of the tribes on Nexus in one of the sequels please?

Garon Whited You presume his species of vampire can subsume the powers of other species. While Mary managed to adapt to Eric's blood, there's no guarantee Eric can gulp down someone else's blood and gain any of their intrinsic abilities. (As an aside, no doubt he and Mary have had multiple blood-drinking moments between them. It doesn't seem to have changed him much, if any.)
