Well, the only thing I see about this is that racial telepathy they have that
seems to encompass a whole plane. They seem awful close to a hive mind to me.

That far reaching telepathy would tend to reinforce similarities, and blur
differences.

Hell, the only listed Arcane who seems much different from his fellows is the
only one listed as cut off from the racial telepathic net. (LotSJ)
