Enchantment
You may cast this spell as though it had flash. If you cast it any time a sorcery couldn't have been cast, the controller of the permanent it becomes sacrifices it at the beginning of the next cleanup step. When this enchantment enters, if it's on the battlefield, it becomes an Aura with "enchant creature put onto the battlefield with Necromancy." Put target creature card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control and attach this enchantment to it. When this enchantment leaves the battlefield, that creature's controller sacrifices it.

Official rulings

5 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

When putting a card onto the battlefield that requires a definition for its value or some other choice, you do what is needed to define the value or make the choice.

2004-10-04 · Wizards of the Coast

The bringing of the creature onto the battlefield and then putting Necromancy on it is all done as part of the resolution.

2004-10-04 · Wizards of the Coast

Necromancy enters as an enchantment and then becomes an Enchant Creature Aura as a triggered ability upon entering. It follows all the rules for Auras from then on.

2005-08-01 · Wizards of the Coast

If the creature card put onto the battlefield has protection from black (or anything that prevents this from legally being attached), this won't be able to attach to it. Then this will go to the graveyard as a state-based action, causing the creature to be sacrificed.

2008-04-01 · Wizards of the Coast

The sacrifice occurs only if you cast it using its own ability. If you cast it using some other effect (for example, if another effect allowed you to cast it as though it had flash), then it won't be sacrificed.
