It's ultimately a side effect of his summoning due to the sheer power going into it. The debatable part is the use of "enthrall", which comes down to his characteristics and the fact that the tempering we witness with the beast tribes is by contrast premised on flawed/simplified rites taught by the Ascians; in Zodiark's case, the Loporrit in the JP version for example make it clear that his raw power is what caused it. Ultimately it has some negative consequences for the summoners, particularly if they don't preserve their identity over time, but enthralment isn't necessarily one of those.
