Don't worry much about the Element Shield issue, as your mage and alchemist levels do stack--a level 4 alchemist/level 4 mage satisfies the level requirements (the skills don't stack, so you'd still need either 45 alchemy OR 45 wizardry).
Aside from that, though, I'm really not sure how the proposed alchemist/mage dual is supposed to work, because taking just 3-4 levels of alchemist means it will take millions and millions more experience to max out your mage spells later. For this reason, the only dual class I throw in with casters is bishop, so that you can use all your levels from both classes; if you take about 8-10 levels' worth of bishop early on you can pick up lots of extra spells without slowing down your leveling too much, then you can switch back to a specialist class for faster leveling once you get into the teens and the bishop's experience requirements start stacking up. Unfortunately I'm guessing that your faerie alchemist probably won't qualify for bishop, but pure alchemist is decent enough.
