A spellsword to me seems like a melee character who has mage levels primarily for defensive buffs (and maybe sunfire). Try a drow mage with fighter, barbarian, paladin, or rogue levels attatched. Use mage robes or that nice 0% casting failure armor, and be sure to prebuff with such spells as shield, Tenser's, fireshields, stoneskin, mirror image, etc.
Two spellsword-type characters that I use are the deep gnome decoy and the drow ranger/paladin/rogue/mage.
