I think if someone rebuilt Numinex's body, same can be done. Basically, a dragon's soul is eternal, until devoured, but when it is devoured, it is not destroyed, but just mills around in the body that devoured it (that's why when you kill Miraak, you get multiple souls, for his soul counts as one, the others are from the dragons he devoured.) He gets reincarnated as a dragon. Only a Dragonborn can absorb his soul..... unless he gets into a losing fight with Miraak, he gets reincarnated. Either that or he enters Sovngarde with the rest of the deceased Dragonborns.
