my question is this, should Smeyer be able to take such liberties with the powers of the vampires?

i understand the word fiction, and i understand she has the write to add things, but the extent at which she changes things is going a bit far, to me it was like reading about a bad romance novel with vampires to spice it up...

every author can change their vampire a bit, or base theirs off a vampire from another region, but i don't want to see so many changes, that is really pushing the line.

for the record everything needs a weakness, for vampires it garlic and holy objects, and sunlight, but these have no weaknesses,
never mind the personality differences,
 
As long as a vampire fiction maintains their prime characteristic (blood consumption) which is the only thing why they are called vampires then I see absolutely no reason why not call them vampires and then add whatever you want.
Fiction has no rules. You can take a word and give it a wholly new meaning and story.
