Using semiclassics to surmount the hurdle of bulk-surface inseparability, we derive the superconductor vortex spectrum in nonmagnetic Weyl semimetals and show that it stems from the Berry phase of orbits made of Fermi arcs on opposite surfaces and bulk chiral modes. Tilting the vortex transmutes it between bosonic, fermionic, and supersymmetric, produces periodic peaks in the density of states that signify novel nonlocal Majorana modes, and yields a thickness-independent spectrum at magic "magic angles." We propose (Nb,Ta)P as candidate materials and tunneling spectroscopy as the ideal experiment.
