Is it safe to charge a 12 Inch MacBook Using Some Specific Adapters?

I have a USB A to USB C cable that I want to use to charge my MacBook, but I want to use my Apple 30W USB C power brick.


Can I use the Apple USB C Power Brick:

30W USB‑C Power Adapter - Education - Apple


The power brick is plugged into this USB C to USB A Adapter here:

The USB A to USB C cord will be plugged into the adapter:

Then the USB C end of the cord will be plugged into this adapter to add the magsafe feature:

The magsafe adapter will be plugged into this USB A to USB C adapter here:

Then finally the USB A to USB C adapter is plugged into another USB A to USB C adapter so that it can be plugged into the MacBook:

Is this safe, and will this not damage or put uneccesarry wear on my MacBook battery?

Mac mini, macOS Sierra (10.12.5)
