I'm pretty sure the souls in Zirantia were bound there so long because their Incubus King trapped them there while they were still alive. Even so, we are still talking about bending the rules of reality.

While necromancery is, per the Sierra quote, the art of "playing with" these rules, I don't think that what we saw there was outside of necromancy as described in the lore post. To wit, Sierra said that " Others trap the soul in a stable form so it can't fade, though this is harder and tends to have major negative effects." The kind of suffering that the Lamia's spirit described certainly sounds like it qualifies as "major negative side effects."
