As we all know in the next expansion we will be able to play a Nelf mage.
And look at this.
Sorcerers can come from any race. Night elves who takes this class are stripped of their racial heritage, effectively transforming into high elves, although they do not physically change.
I know that mage is not a sorceres but it's connected in some way and in WoW it is or might be the same thing.
In my opinion Night elf Mage = High elf Mage
High elf mage = Blood elf mage (since they draw upon fel magic)

High elf =/= Blood elf.
Using Arcane =/= Using Fel.

The new Night Elf magi are these guys
, finally forced out of their home since the demon powering their immortality was destroyed, and the Prince of their group was killed.

Only
if
they suck on fel.

It is stated that they will transform into high elves, but they are still normal nelfs (at least in look)? I don't get it.

High elves are dependant on arcane. If they moved to EK, they would eventually (thousands of years later) evolve into what a high elf looks like. Blood elves are the high elves which, when the Sunwell was destroyed, chose to use Fel to sate their addiction.

I think that explains it.

No, they are leftover Highborne from the days of the War of the Ancients; they will still be Night Elves, as that's what they were to begin with. They are not going to be High Elves, as these Elves haven't been feeding off of the Sunwell for 8 thousand or so years, as well as be up and around during the day time.

Highborne and high elves are two distinct races/subraces.
Highborne were the upper classes of night elf society, who used arcane magic.
High elves are
some
of the Highborne that left Kalimdor post-Sundering and went to modern-day EK. Other Highborne either turned into naga, satyrs (maybe? not entirely sure), or remained the way they are but were exiled.
Highborne are still night elves, while high elves are their own distinct race (something about using a lot of arcane energy and not enough natural energy caused their physical features to shrink, like their ears).
Another way to put it is that all high elves were Highborne, but not all Highborne are high elves.

Plus evolution due to the climate. I'm sure that night elves' skin and the sun aren't best friends. ;)

just what we need, another reason for night elf males to do more of the stupid cast animation they do.
