I know that’s generally the case but it might not be the rule. What if someone like Haku can only use Wind natured chakra in conjunction with Water to create Ice but can’t use Wind on its own? Or in Rasa's case, can’t use Lightning except to make Magent Release?

Alternatively, could it be a misprint? Both of Rasa's sons have Lightning natured chakra and now Shinki does too. Maybe Rasa is suppose to as well.

Lastly, could it actually be a kekkei tota combining Wind, Earth, and Lighting again we just have bad info? To me Magnet Release seem much more similar to Dust Release than any of the other advanced natures.

1. It's not specifically stated that that would be the case, but we have several examples of shinobi using the two natures which constitutes their kg: Darui has used both water release and lightning separetely (which is storm release when combined) and the same is the case with Yamato. Whether or not other shinobi would be inept at doing the same with the basic elements that constitute their respective advanced natures is something we don't have any information of. But there is no basis for it to be the case either.

2. a misprint is always a possibility, and it would be part of the mistakes in the source material (4th databook) I mentioned earlier.

3. it's unlikely that its' a kekkei Tota, since it's specifuically stated that the third Kazekage was born with the ability, which would make it a kg (chapter 268). It is also mentioned that it is a kg in chapter 546 in regards to Toroi.
