'Yes but to what end? He's still primarily a magic caster and his strenght lies in magic, not close combat. Unless the author plants to develop him as a warrior beyond auto-attacks, i really see no benefit from this other than to keep things refreshing. '

Why don't you ask the author yourself? As if anyone other than him can provide you a concrete answer on this one.

As for me, I think it may foreshadow another Shalltear type of fight coming and the skills in arms may be the saving point here as he may not be as prepared as he did when he fought Shalltear. His strength in magic is one thing but his mana has been shown to be able to run dry despite how it goes over the scale. His stamina however is not affected in the slightest because of his undead traits.

Or that it's another one of his paranoia episodes in the making because he shows that he is not content to be simply a lvl 100 magic caster and is afraid that being magic caster may not cut it some day, as he said so in volume 10.
