Also, I take issue with your character's range now I think about it, there's no way he has over eight foot range, especially if he's wielding that sword two handed.

He's wielding it one handed. Remember one hand has to be free for sign weaving. His full range is actually almost ten feet overall, but that's well beyond the true edge of the blade. Wielding it two handed would be impossible from the angle. He only had to twist one wrist around after all.
