When a race gets no development, know that blizzard has really abandoned them. Can you imagine blizz leaving the Orcs to just be warrior culture, or the blood elves to be only arcane or the dwarves only mining? It would be insatiably boring , or all there was to the forsaken was plagues. No thank you. And while the nightborne are only arcane, they are not a full culture, they are a subset of the kaldorei culture, as void elves are of the Thalassian culture, which has many veins.
Also you can distinguish a group in other ways than the type of magic. Most distinctions are political, ideological, moral. The beauty of wow is he said is that no major race has just one thing, night elves are supposed to have covered the entire world, they're not going to be one-trick ponies, it's unrealistic, they would be one of the most powerfully diverse groups. if THEY ARE TO BE BIG, THEY CAN'T JUST BE ONLY DRUIDISM AND NATURE TO THEM, IT SHOUDL BE A PART OF THEM IN EVERYTHIGN,A S THE ARCANE SHOUDL BE AND THE DIVINE.
