* CloningBlues: A duology of novels, ''Farthest Star'' and ''Wall Around A Star'' (written with Creator/FrederikPohl), feature a form of [[TeleportersAndTransporters teleportation]] that sends a copy of you elsewhere but leaves the original intact. The copy can be modified ''en route,'' since all you're transmitting is information. Interestingly, this is how most physicists figure real-life teleportation might work.

* MageSpecies: ''Darker than You Think'' features a witch species that evolved due to prehistoric environmental reasons. However, their abilities mainly deal with shape-changing, making them were-wolves, were-pythons, were-saber-toothed-tigers, and more. In very rare cases, a witch becomes powerful enough to transform into a vampire. (That's a lot of tropes blended together.)
