Considering what we now know about summoning and Hermes/Fandaniel/Amon's state of mind, I have to wonder.
It was something to do with souped-up clones if I remember correctly. The Amon we fight in Crystal Tower is a clone of himself and there’s half a dozen bad Doga and Unei’s running around.

I think we’re just dealing with the standard sci-fi trope of clones having the originals’ memories rather than his spirit being brought from the Farplane/Lifestream/Underworld. Though even if it is the latter, they said in the story that strong wills keep their identities from being washed away for longer and that would explain Xande’s feelings regarding death and his disturbed mental state after being “brought back”.
