The Magic Initiate feat is not repeatable, as it does not specify that it can be taken multiple times, and according to the Player’s Handbook, “You can take each feat only once, unless the feat’s description says otherwise.” This means that players can only take the Magic Initiate feat once, unless they choose a different version of it, such as Arcane, Divine, or Primal.
