This is basically a perfect explanation. Grealt is definitely a spellsword-style fighter, and your definition of a battlemage also hit the nail on the head. I'm glad to see that people still remember what sorcerorrs used to be like in the old games, but now they are more like this:

Pretty much your average mage in terms of spells, except that they wear ehavy armour to make themselves less fragile. They don't really use weapons for close-combat, the armour is just there for protection should they need it.
