Qyburn seem to be a Frankenstein analogue, so I don't think he used magic, or at least not just magic.

She could believe she can use Stannis as a trade for Sansa, or that he could help her get Sansa out somehow or... something. I don't think this is what happened but that is the only theory I can come up with.

He was never completely dead, I don't think. Just gravely, gravely wounded.

Plus, he's been brought back by science, not magic. So, even if he were dead, he doesn't use up the resurrection.

Black magic disguised as science if you ask me.

I think that Qyburn and the reanimated Mountain are meant to be an allegory for how the European medieval world thought about medical advancement: something strange, to be feared, and possibly aligned to dark, supernatural forces.
