Remember it was Celestia and Luna who possessed the Elements first and used them to defeat Discord. With only half their power (I think the creators said each possessed three Elements) Celestia couldn't use their full power to "draw Luna's good form out" so she could only banish her and, according to Lauren Faust, orchestrate events leading to Luna's release.

The Elements did turn Discord to stone again when the Mane 6 used them, although Celestia later had them release him.

Did Celestia and Luna use the Elements to seal Sombra away? It looked like they used their magic, note the color of their auras were in that magic beam as opposed to a rainbow.
