He only has like one passive technically. It's also kind of like a crappy Anivia passive because those little slimes die easy, but it's cell division. He divides on attacks which can be picked up for health, and on death he divided into 4 which will try to pack it to res him. It's only technically one thing.

I also like how you get the free Traditional Karma skin if you own her before launch.
Meeeh I feel like the mantra cooldown lowering should be a part of the mantra skill itself. Graves Quickdraw has a similar passive but it is part of the E skill itself, it's not Graves's passive skill. Ryze's passive lowers the cooldowns of ALL his skills, not just his ultimate. I feel like Karma got jipped in that regard. Perhaps I'm jumping the gun, but unless Mantra cooldown is short enough to use multiple times in a teamfight or engagement if you're actively using spells and attacking, it seems weak to only have one charge. The final numbers may change my mind but I'm not terribly impressed. However, I do think that her QWE abilities are improved, and I am glad that they made a Traditional Karma skin that Karma players can have for free. I hate the new look of Karma so I will probably always play Traditional skin.

Zac's passive is definitely two passives. Blobs that break off on spell hits and heal you is a passive. Blob-style Anivia passive is another passive. I'm sure they're both weaker than they could be if he only did one thing, but it's definitely two different mechanics.
