At first level, Bob had the ability to prepare 4 spells.  He used both of his minor access during character creation to add two spells from the cleric spell list to his available spells.  He selected Cause Fear, Inflict Wounds, Bless (an enchantment) and Cure Wounds (an evocation).    He could only cast Bless and Cure wounds once per Long Rest.  At 3rd he selected transmutation as a minor school to which he has access, but did not select a spell to add to his spell list.  When he reached 5th level, he still had not selected a transmutation spell to his spell list.  When he is granted access to another minor spell school at 5th, it could not be transmutation.</blockquote>
