I have the same question myself.
The description of the trait states earlier as a sort of "flavor" description: "... You have mastered the use of a cantrip" (note the use of the word "cantrip")
It then goes on to specify how the trait works: "choose a 0-level spell. You may cast that spell once per day as a spell-like ability." What type or class of spell (cantrip, orison or something else entirely) is not specified, even though "cantrip" was used earlier in the description.
Is the intent to allow ANY 0-level spell, or is this a specifically "magic" trait (as opposed to a "faith" trait), and intended to allow only arcane spells (or cantrips)?

Pathfinder tends to divide up text into a "fluff" sort of introduction that leads to the "crunch" in-game benefits.
The "fluff" is just a possible descriptive element, and does not define the ability. The "Sword and Pistol" feat does not require you to use an actual Sword and Pistol, for example. You could use a Hand Crossbow and Dagger instead.
The "fluff" text of this Trait is "You have mastered the use of a cantrip". The "crunch" is "Choose a 0-level spell".
That means any 0-level spell from any spell list that has 0-level spells, and not just those lists that contain cantrips.
