Regarding the power of Elantrian magic, remember that Elantris is one of the earliest (if not the earliest) book in the Cosmere timeline, and most of what we see is from people re-learning how to use it. Not only do we not know what Elantrians were capable of before the Shaod, but there have been centuries since then for them to refine and expand their arts. We've only seen them as side characters hinting at what they can do so we really don't have a firm grasp of what their magic allows.
