What about a spellsword
I'm currently playing with sword in main hand, grimoire in the other. How viable do you think this is?

It is 100% viable.

One of the pros of the game is the freedom of gameplay in that regard.
As long as a weapon fits in one hand, you can use another in the offhand, so.

You can use Grimoire + Sword / Grimoire + Dagger / Grimoire + Pistol / Sword + Pistol / Sword + Dagger / Grimoire + Shield.

Try combinations and see what you feel like it.

So long as you can dodge and take a shield spell alongside a crowd control spell it's pretty strong.

Would be hard to turn the page in combat.
"Paper cut or sword cut today" ?

However you can't parry with the sword?

I’m doing the same and it’s working out just fine. I even found a Grimoire of the Spellsword made specially for this style. It even lets me summon a magic melee weapon so I can carry a ranged one and cover all bases.

You can’t, but you can dodge and you can cast defensive spells. Between that and a health drain spell to heal me, I haven’t really needed to block. Just gotta stay nimble.

The combat works great for a Spellsword, just keep in mind three things:

1. Your Grimoire gives you the spells in it for free, and upgrades them to more powerful levels if you also invested in the Spell in abilities.
2. You can switch Grimoires at the drop of a hat, so carrying alternative Grims is a great option.
3. Respecing is cheap and easy, so feel free to experiment with different spells and mainhand weapons.
