About Xande... He was "resurrected" in the sense his body was cloned and his persona was duplicated inside. Technically speaking it's not his soul that got brought back to the world of the living.
As far as I know (or what the Scions seem to say) there is a hard limit where the soul, constituted of aether, returns to the aetherial plane. My understanding regarding necromancy is that it is the art of binding back a soul to a deceased body, before that souls gets out of reach (meaning, in the other realm). Souls can linger and roam aimlessly, as they can often turn into ashkin (bhoots, etc).
By doing so, the necromancer also gets total control over the soul in question, as seen for example in the Wiping City of Mhach when you explore further into Yafaem and finds Forgall playing puppets with the dead crew of your rival, or with Obdilord doing the same with Eda. Those resurrected are entering in the category of "undead".
