I'm thinking that it may have been the Elements of Harmony that stripped him of his powers originally. One of their functions appears to be to restore all things to their natural or harmonious state. I suspect that Tirek's power was always stolen and his first defeat involved returning that power to where it originally came from.

That said, I suspect that at least part of Tirek's enfeeblement at the start of part 1 was due to having spent over a thousand years in prison.
