Would this e a good time to suggest that acolyte and magic user shouldn't require you to know a spell, so that non-elves can use cool combos too?
The first feat doesn't require the ability to cast spells, instead it grants them, two minor spells, which qualifies you for the second feat.
Notice how I picked the Wild Elf, not the High Elf. The High Elf gets a free cantrip, but the Wild Elf does not. All the sacred shooters spells come from Acolyte itself.
Now necromancer requires spells, but doesn't grant them.
