Hi juspate, thanks. Sure, I see no harm in doing that. Wards on the left hand and a one-handed weapon on the right are a good combo, and it's still possible to unequip the spell on the left and still use some measure of Blocking just with a sword. Just remember that while Blocking is possible that way, looks like a Skill you'd want to invest in in all stages of the build.
