If you want brainless, One-Handed plus shield is the play. Shortsword over a Rapier for maximum drooling on yourself. Which is, coincidentally, what I play in Isekai. Dual Wield plus Shade or Dual Wield plus Power for a slightly more engaging "gameplay".
Mage equipment is lavish. You could, probably, put a "sub-par" set together with your current funds and suffer. Or, alternatively, you could rent some pieces until you gain enough proficiency, switch to Dual Wield, and gather a set of legendary Shade of the Shadowdancer plus a pair of weapons which should, theoretically, get your "A Dance with Dragons" times below 30 minutes. With which you could slowly build up training and wealth to eventually become a Wizard.
P.S. Your current gear is...mediocre shall we say. Full set of Shade. Any Shade. Even "Negation" or "Fleet". And the above-mentioned weapons. Ethereal club is preferred.
