If you read the magic page in this wikia, you will find that anyone can chant spells, (not an anodite alone it can also be a natural human) and Charmcaster states that magic is just knowing the real names of things .( so anyone can chant spells if its the correct pronounciation and charmcaster is nothing but a human if not for her spell chanting abilities) Ben has been living with Gwen and Verdona and other anodites so he must have learnt some spells (he only chanted a spell and he himself stated that  he "picked up a few spells").

(do not mind if my quotes are wrong)
