Quick question/clarification about Apple's revamped MagSafe charging for their new 14" MBP (2021) / 13" MBA (2022). The new power units obviously are modular and the USB C to MagSafe cable comes out. I have a wall charger that has 3 USB C outputs and is rated at 100W depending on configurations of things plugged in - but theoretically, I should be able to take that USB C to MagSafe cable out of the power brick that came with the laptop, then plug it into the wall charger (making sure it's plugged into the highest output plug if my wall charger has a specific "higher output" USB C port - I've seen some chargers have this, but not all), and then use it as a MagSafe charger. ALSO, after looking up the power requirements (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212755) to fast charge, as long as I have 100W (actually only need 96W per the Apple page), I SHOULD be able to use the MagSafe charger and get fast charging right?

The main reason I ask is that I like to have a central charging hub on my counter at home with a USB C and Lightning Charger, but instead of having a second USB C charger, I like the idea of switching for a USB C to MagSafe and get Fast Charging. Maybe I'm just overthinking it or have too much time on my hands right now haha, but what do you guys think?
