Agreed. One of the things I like the least about the Twilight series is the wasted potential. There's no logical reason as to why there'd be no superhumans who transform into types of super-animals, given just how diverse mythology is. As for magic users, the origin story of the shifters suggests some kind of human ability to use magic. Plus, it's now canon that some humans have some rather impressive psychic powers, up to and including ''pyrokinesis. ''

As for fairies, vampires have a lot in common with fairies already. I don't mean that in the way that people use as a cheap insult to the series, but rreferring to the fact that they have TONS of shared characteristics in common with "The Fair Folk." In fact, Meyer honestly ended up closer to an extremely unusual portrayal of the Fair Folk than anything I'd consider to be a vampire. She really should've just went with that and played with the idea of faeries as "emotional/psychic/IMAGINATION vampires" rather than what she actually ended up with.
